My upgrade from my A-100 will be to Boxee on a used/refurb Mac Mini/linux htpc when it matures enough to be a somewhat stable media player. Boxee has a bunch of problems it needs to iron out but the development pace on Boxee is faster than basically every product on the market. I just haven't found it to be stable enough and there is no real universal remote capabilities to make it worth a full switch.

But yeah, don't expect anything more hardware-wise out of PCH, they just need to get their act together on the firmware side.]]>Mar 28th 2009 6:58AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/27/linksys-dma2200-media-extender-plummets-from-350-to-95/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/27/linksys-dma2200-media-extender-plummets-from-350-to-95/Mar 28th 2009 7:42PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/27/linksys-dma2200-media-extender-plummets-from-350-to-95/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/27/linksys-dma2200-media-extender-plummets-from-350-to-95/Mar 27th 2009 2:12PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/27/linksys-dma2200-media-extender-plummets-from-350-to-95/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/27/linksys-dma2200-media-extender-plummets-from-350-to-95/Mar 27th 2009 2:36PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/27/linksys-dma2200-media-extender-plummets-from-350-to-95/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/27/linksys-dma2200-media-extender-plummets-from-350-to-95/Mar 27th 2009 4:16PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/27/linksys-dma2200-media-extender-plummets-from-350-to-95/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/27/linksys-dma2200-media-extender-plummets-from-350-to-95/Mar 27th 2009 4:38PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/27/linksys-dma2200-media-extender-plummets-from-350-to-95/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/27/linksys-dma2200-media-extender-plummets-from-350-to-95/Mar 27th 2009 4:55PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/27/linksys-dma2200-media-extender-plummets-from-350-to-95/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/27/linksys-dma2200-media-extender-plummets-from-350-to-95/If you have digital cable tuners for your pc these are essential.
And in regards to the codec support...I can play all of my files on extenders by trancoding. I can transcode 1080p mkvs at full resolution on the fly without problems.
If I had more TVs to connect I'd be buying more of these extenders.]]>Mar 27th 2009 4:57PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/27/linksys-dma2200-media-extender-plummets-from-350-to-95/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/03/27/linksys-dma2200-media-extender-plummets-from-350-to-95/It's branded "Blue Tinum" (surely a rebranding) but I payied exactly 49,95 Euros for it about one year ago which is about 50 USD.
It was a bit hard to set up (at least for me) but its been working flawlessly for the last 13/14 months.
Oh, it's great also at upscaling DVDs, so much so that with practically every movie I can't notice any difference with Blue Rays.
I think is still possible to buy it from the Blue Tinum home page, and maybe this has something to do with the dropping of the price of Linksys good but inferior media extender.
