Best wireless media player for the money
By Reviewer on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2013
I'm a tech junky and I researched so many media players and this was the best one under $100, actually I would say under $200 as well. The newer model has a Netflix button on the remote. If only it had Amazon Prime video streaming... Pros: can play almost any video format lie AVI, MP4, MKV, and a whole bunch of other complicated codecs. The first 3 are 90% of what I need and probably more than what most people need. 1TB built in hard drive. This is a big plus. Most other models within a few hundred dollars don't come with a hard drive. One of the biggest features is that it can also be a wireless network storage drive (like a mac time capsule $200+). Also, the price of a simple external TB hard drive is around the same price as the screenplay so this really is an insane value when you think of it. HDMI, component, composite out. Having it be backwards compatible is a plus since everyone is still phasing out standard def tvs. 4 usb ports! Ok well technically just 2 for flash drives. The other 2 are for the wireless dongle and pc connection, but 2 is enough. cons: No amazon streaming... yet? An update would be awesome IR (infrared) remote. This is the worst feature unfortunately. The remote has a keyboard and tons of buttons which seems nice but it's line of sight and the receiver is rather week. It is very hard, almost impossible, to type from accross the room. the slightest movement when typing will affect it reading the signal and letter. A simple bluetooth module that would cost pennies in manufacturing would solve this problem and make it a great system. But for the price I can't complain too much. The fan is large and can be annoying if left on or in quick start mode. I just turn the player off when not in use.

Lots of hardware potential but CLUNKY user interface setup
By K-HAUS on Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2011
I bought this device mainly for Netflix, 802.11bgn wifi, 1080p and HDMI output. Based on my past experience with IOMEGA computer peripherals being good, I felt omfortable purchasing this product. However, after registering the box to my wireless network, I could not get the device to connect to Netflix. The setup menu prompts "Do have a Netflix account yes or no" and then does not respond when trying to select yes. I sepnt a couple of hours on this before giving up. I am an engineer by trade and have to say that IOMEGA really missed the mark on their user setup. The remote control kind of looks cool on the picture, but using it is not intuitive either. For those of you looking for an easy box to setup, this one is not it. I saw a previous review that basically said the same thing and thought it must be that user. Well that reviewer was absolutely correct. I am now going to try the SONY with similar specs.
