Reviews of the Linksys Media Center Extender DMA2200 - DVD player / digital multimedia receiver

CNET Review
The Good: Windows Media Center Extender with built-in upscaling DVD player; 802.11n Wi-Fi for streaming HD videos; various connection options.
The Bad: Unreliable streaming bit rate; laggy interface; frustrating remote control; incompatibility issues with various movie file formats; only streams from Media Center-compatible PCs.
The Bottom Line: A bargain price and built-in DVD player distinguishes the Linksys DMA2200 from rival Windows Media Center Extenders, but we found the performance to be inconsistent.
