GoVideo D2740 Network DVD Player
Decent media receiver... so-so DVD player
If the D2740 was only a wireless media player, I would have given it four stars. The UI is simple but good. The software that you install on your PC is good but it takes forever to search for media. I like that the D2740 will connect to Real Media player to allow streaming of internet radio stations. <br /> <br />I ripped all 650 of my CDs to MP3s and packed them away. The  D2740 makes it easy to search by song, artist or album. You can also create playlists on the host PC and access the lists through the player. <br /> <br />The wireless connection is quick enough to stream video, just make sure that your PC has the horsepower (and video power) to stream. I have an older PIII laptop that could not stream well and the video was choppy. My 3.2 GHz machine with a decent ATI card has no problems pushing the video over the network. <br /> <br />Now the bad... the DVD player is pretty bad. It plays video DVDs OK, but it will not even recognize my DVD-A's. My XBOX is a better DVD player. <br /> <br />Another mini-peeve is that GoVideo puts a sticker over the display screen that is almost impossible to get off. I have had this device for 5 months and still have not been able to get the sticker residue off completely... what were they thinking???  <br /> <br />Pros - Good streaming capabilities, good media search function, wireless connection decent <br /> <br />Cons - DVD player is bad, PC software has slow new media searching function.
