D-Link gives DSM-520 access to hundreds of online TV channels
Evidently, loosing the DSM-750 Extender for Windows Media Center just wasn't enough for D-Link, as the firm seemingly felt the need to give loyal (and to-be) owners of the DSM-520 Wireless HD Media Player a nice bonus. Starting today, buyers of the aforementioned digital media adapter will have access to "more than 200 online channels," as the unit can now take advantage of active-TV technology. The service reportedly "allows easy access to internet video and entertainment sites with a remote control," and it also uses a "content aggregator developed by MediaMall Technologies." Some notable channels include Comedy Central, CinemaNow, Google Video, Movielink, ROOtv Music Videos, Akimbo, MTV, Musicmatch, Napster, VH1, ESPN and FOX Sports, and there's also international content out there for those willing to branch out. The expanded DSM-520 should be shipping momentarily for $249.99, and existing owners can snag the update gratis on October 4th.

520 looks like a nice unit, $209 at Newegg but they are out of stock :-(

This unit appears to be available for online only ordering at Circuit City for $149.99. Thinking about jumping in for one as well.

What do they mean by free channels? Akimbo, which was listed as one, is a vod vendor.

Well today is 6th oct, the firmware update is still not available. Dlink needs to get its act together before announcing something.
