Media Center without an XBOX Advantages: The media center interface, decent codec support, HD movies stream really well. Disadvantages: The DVD player is terrible. Okay, the big pull of this DVD player is the built in Media Center Extender software, which once set up runs really well. You need to have vista installed on a PC (which needs to be on for it to work) and you also need a good network connection between the two. I have tried both a 200mbps powerline ethernet network and a wireless N network and for me the wireless network performed better for HD movies, but this will differ for most people so just ... ...wifi connection. The built in DVD play is poor to say the least, it doesn't scale DVD's out to widescreen it simply takes the DVD's basic resolution and outputs it to the middle of the screen. I tried watching an old cracker and had to stop as it was displayed as a 640x480 picture in the middle of my 720p HDTV, believe me this looks terrible. Its worth it for the media center as it works seemlessly and is a lot easier to access than the XBOX 360 ... coops1979 18.06.2008 · Read Full Review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Linksys Media Center Extender DMA2200	Sound Level Instructions Value for Money
