What are the pro's and cons of various Network media players. I'm on the market for one and trying to get info on the pro's and cons of them all is hard work at present.
I just trialled a SMC Wireless player and the playback quality of my Hauppauge 500mce captured video was FLAWLESS - REALLY NICE quality! But the catch is this STUPID device can't FFW or RWD which is useless for Ad's etc. Does the MVP do good skipping in and does it ad-skip with Comskip when used with GBPVR's server software?
One other nice product was from http://www.buffalotech.com - Its a DVD Player with progressive scan and wireless/ethernet media player all in one. And its DIVX certified as well to boot although this is for the bedroom tv and I'll really only want to playback stuff in MPEG2 format video'd from TV.
Any advice out there from owners of any like products?
Cheers!
