Gateway ADC-320 Connected DVD Player with Wireless 802.11g Card
Gateway Strikes Again
Gateway is developing a reputation of selling \\"neat ideas\\" but quickly abandoning them.  My neighbor bought a big screen TV from them and after inumerable service calls, sent it back and got a \\"real\\" TV from a \\"real\\" manufacturer.<br /><br />I got this item for Xmas -- unfortunately my wife was not told she needed to get the network adapter card as a seperate item.  Now that I want to get the card so I can use it for more than the world's most expensive and least functional DVD player, I find I can not.  I just got off of a chat with the Gateway sales rep and he told me to try eBay.  Imagine that!  What kind of support is that?  Good grief, they sold the item, they should support it for a few years, at LEAST.<br /><br />I have 4 other Gateway computers in the house, including the laptop I'm typing this on.  My neighbor has bought SIX of them, due to my suggestion that they are a good company.  Now that she has had bad luck with the TV, I think she is also rethinking Gateway.<br /><br />I would give this product a ZERO star rating but this software does not permit it.  All in all, I will avoid Gateway in the future.  I can get hardware cheaper and since the Gateway brand no longer means qualty or support, why pay the premium.<br /><br />Avoid this product at all costs.  It's a dead end.  And, as another reviewer says, it both freezes while playing movies, and has a frequent seek problem -- if you click on \\"extras\\" or something it is likely to go into seek mode for many minutes before it stops and you have to shut it down to start over.<br /><br />Altogether a really bad product and, apparently now, company.
