Netgear Digital Entertainer HD EVA8000
Can Netgear's latest DMA really stream HD video over Wi-Fi? Jon sits down in his living room to find out.
The EVA8000 is clearly an extremely capable media streaming system. Not only is it able to play HD video over a pretty sluggish 802.11g network – an impressive feat in its own right – but it can also be used to stream, listen to and display a large...

Netgear EVA-8000 review
Has affordable networked multimedia come of age?
Picture quality Plenty of features Hi-def compatible
Compatibility issues No significant uPnP support
Not as polished as it needs to be, but a big step in the right direction nonetheless

Netgear EVA8000 review
A solid, easy to set up network player that will stream HD video and iTunes music
Stutter-free wireless streaming ; access to YouTube ; plays copy-protected music files
No Apple Lossless support ; no DVD
The widest format support, plus flawless wireless streaming, put this among the best network players we’ve seen so far

Netgear Digital Entertainer HD EVA8000
The Netgear Digital Entertainer HD EVA8000 is a feature-packed digital multimedia receiver and player, but setting it up entails visiting too many menus.
Unlike any other player, Netgear's high-definition Netgear Digital Entertainer HD EVA8000 transforms your TV into an extension of your home network, and of the internet.

Netgear EVA8000
There are plenty of other features here that should appeal though, including HDMI out, a choice of wired or wireless connections and access to both internet radio stations and online media from YouTube directly from the box. You can also view RSS...
Impressive range of features, streams up to 1080p
Menu structure can affect usability, online streaming issues, no internal storage, quite pricey

Netgear - EVA8000
Netgear is the latest to chip in with a rather feature-packed addition to the streaming media market, with its EVA8000. Billed as the 'HD ready' addition to the range, you'll find support for up to 1080p ...
Bearing in mind the lack of a 'benchmark' product in this market we feel the Netgear unit fares quite well. It offers a large degree of versatility to home users with large media collections and impressive support for viewing additional content. The...

Netgear Digital Entertainer HD EVA8000
Those looking to broaden their home entertainment system by adding PC content to the mix will love the EVA8000. Not only can it stream videos and musi...
Can stream YouTube and Flickr content, music, videos and Internet radio stations; it's easy to set up and use; it has HDMI and component video output ports; it has digital audio output ports, it can play content purchased from the iTunes store
The aspect ratio had to be changed every time in order to watch videos on our 4:3 TV, it lacks 802.11 draft-n networking
This media streaming device is cable of streaming videos, music, photos, even YouTube content. It's easy to set up and use, and should please anyone who's looking to broaden their home entertainment palette.

Netgear Digital Entertainer EVA8000
This bulky box sends all kinds of media from your PC to your TV — even protected iTunes and Windows Media music. Unfortunately, standard-def video
Comes with HDMI and analog cables. Record and play TV shows (if your PC has a tuner). Streams Internet radio, YouTube, and Flickr galleries
Nearly as large as a cable box. Ugly interface is no match for Apple TV. Queued media starts slowly. Doesn't auto-update when you add media to your PC
