Free Man:I have heard quite a few complaints about these in terms of responsiveness and video quality, but obviously they are the cheapest units out there hands down.
If the unit is wired, the firmware is updated and the Vista it is extending is updated, clean and on a good processor with 3-4GB memory these things are just fine. I have used them in every scenario and now run them fine in their current setup. Rarely a problem and the typical problem I have now is that My Videos doesn't load up when I go to it. It doesn't happen that often and I think it's really just the same old crap with the libraries over networks not working the greatest on Windows. But I have to admit my problems with that are far less than they were a year or two ago when it comes to that...Q
