The Kiss DP-600 is unreal. I have seen negative reviews on this product but I still wen ahead and bought it because I thought even if these reviews were correct that the offering was too good to miss.

The negative reviews stated the following
1) The DVD drive gives out a constant whine that is so loud you can hear it over the TV
2) The PC link software is rubbish it doesn't work and they had to use windows media connect.
3) The box will crash on occasion and you have to power cycle it.
4) The wireless capability is limited you need to have your access point right next to the DP-600
5) It has no Hard drive

I had my Kiss DP-600 up and running and streaming content from my PC Over wireless using PC link in under 10 minuts. It was very easy I didn't even read the instructions. If you are having problems with PC Link download the latest version from the Kiss site and make sure that your firewall is not blocking it. If you are using Win XP SP2 remember that windows firewall is on by default.

This box has played everything that I have thrown at it. Things that my old DP-500 couldn't play. If you put something in to the DP-600 that it can't handle and it crashes powere cycle it and either look for an update or don't play unsupported formats. remember also that the people who encode the media that you are downloading don't always know what they are doing. I had this problem with my old DP-500 but I would power cyle and not play that file. I'm sure that you will have the exact same issues on other similar products. For the price I can live with it.

I live in an old Victorian house my TV is in one room and my Wireless router another, there is probably 15 meters between the Router and my DB-600 and a Brick wall. I have 95 % signal strength. need I say more.

If you are streaming content why do you need a hard drive? it has wireless and an ethernet port. But if you are that fussed about it, there is also a USB port so you can connect an external Hard drive if you want to

I love this product, I loved the DP-500 and Old as it was it still out performed any of my firends dvd players. The DP-600 is light years ahead of the DP-500 which to my mind and from my personal experience makes it the best that you can buy for the money.

Buy it you wont be dissappointed
