CNET editors' review
Very good
7.7
out of 10

The good: Extensive format support for a wide variety of audio and video files, including high-def content; streams purchased iTunes songs from Windows PCs; lightning-fast onscreen user interface; streams YouTube videos, public Flickr photo galleries, and Internet radio straight to your TV; can schedule TV shows and stream recorded content from PCs with TV tuners; excellent connectivity options provides compatibility with all TVs and stereo systems.

The bad: No 802.11n Wi-Fi, and wireless performance was not flawless; protected iTunes songs take 15 seconds to load; interface isn't quite as simple as Apple TV's; would occasionally freeze up and require unplugging and plugging back in; large compared to Apple TV; no built-in hard drive.

The bottom line: While it's not as slick as Apple TV and its performance isn't flawless, the Netgear EVA8000's awesome array of features should delight tech-savvy digital media hounds

U CAN BUY IT FOR $278 CHEAPER THEN THE APPLE tv BUT 100 TIMES BETTER

This unit basically plays any video or audio stored on ur pc hard drive .
It uses ur home wifi connection to send signals to the tv . It also plays streamed music stations online and stream videos from sites like utube really neat.

Apple tv only plays itunes stuff on ur hard drive and they should be in itunes format this plays everything possible format really neat. i am sure the price is goin to come down soon maybe $100

You can already get something similar but without the streaming for about $80
