KiSS DP-558 Networkable DVD Player with TV Tuner and 80 GB Hard Drive
Great networked recorder and Player
The DP558 is a cool device in a networked home <br /> <br />1- KISS is one of the few Recorder/player that can be networked on your home computer network. This was an essential property that I was looking for.  <br /> <br />2- The 80Gb hard disk drive is adequate in size for most users. Recording is done directly to disk. The DVD is only a player hence the need to move files to the PC to be written on CDs or DVDs. 40hours of recording at standard resolution. <br /> <br />3- Scheduling recording from the web is a cool feature and allows the user to program the DP558 when away from home. Note that in this case the DP 558 has to be connected continuously to the internet. <br /> <br />4- I have used a wireless game adapter (Linksys WGA54AG )in order to connect the DP 558 to my home WIFI network in order to avoid running wires. Works perfectly. <br /> <br />5- Cool online features other than the EPG: <br />          a- Access to weather around the world <br />          b- Access to stock market charts <br />          c- Some raw online games <br />          d- Online radio streaming <br /> <br />6- Of course moving files from PC environment to the DP 558 and vice versa is very simple. <br /> <br />I do recommend this product especially if you want networked capabilities. <br /> <br />           <br />
