Iomega 35045 ScreenPlay TV Link DX HD Media Player Review

First this is awesome player with huge I TB capacity.
You can dump all your personal photos, videos, movies, songs and watch/listen at a click of button. Included remote (mini keyboard) is good but it will take some time before to get used.
I tried with MKV, JPG, AVI, BMP, MP3 formats and it works well.
Sometimes it is struck but that is fine we can't expect powerful processor for less than $200. Not yet tried with Netflix.
But for web browser it is like basic only you can't read text as letters are very small.PROS:
1. 1 TB hard disk
2. Runs almost all formats with Ease
3. Bearable starting and running speed
4. Can run Music and photos simultaneously
5. Include WIFI USB which is good if you are setting home network.
6. Included HDMI cable
7. Joystick (Player Control Pad) is awesome when you are watching YouTube or searching.
8. Can run for older TV's with composite AV cables
9. Pretty fast when copying files to hard disk. Copied 60 GB in 1 hour.
10. Good YouTube app - but some times alignment goes crazy - may be video issue.
CONS:
1. Provides beta web browser i.e., you can't play anything out of website which ruined my happiness. If it supports Flash it would have been instant hit.
E.g. can't play any video from CNN, CNBC!!!!
This reduces 1 point in rating.
2. Struck when it can't run file types. But "Eject" button is helping to move back to home screen.
3. Very very small letters when you are typing. Literally invisible. Just assume you are typing correctly! Could have been better if input window enlarges when typing.
4. No Zoom functionality except for photos.Nice-to-have
-Could have provided home screen back ground music.
-Printed Manual atleast for some items like key board, navigation, home network setup.
-Lengthy cables like power cord, HDMI, composite cables.

Keyspan ER-V2 RF Remote for Windows Vista Review

Keyspan ER-V2 RF Remote for Windows Vista

First off, this remote was shipped quite rapidly. I received it only three days after placing the order.
Out of the box it has a light, but solid feel. The plastic feels tight and does not flex or make noises. It seems like it'll be able to stand up to some wear and tear.
I plugged the receiver into the 32-bit Windows Vista Home Premium box that I built, and it was instantly recognized and ready to use. Thanks to the RF receiver, the range on this is great. I have the receiver plugged in behind my computer and I can point the remote away from the computer and still have reception.
The functions of the remote seem pretty standard for a Windows Media Center Device. One feature I didn't notice before purchasing is that it has a button that can put the computer in and out of standby. Another cool thing I've discovered is that this remote has some limited functionality with iTunes. Stop, play, forward, reverse, and pause all work. The volume on the iTunes volume slider will not change by pushing the volume controls, though.
I'm very happy with this product and would definitely recommend to people looking for a quality remote.
