wings466: #buffalo_linktheater_pc_p4lwag Quote: The units respond to ~1 in 10 remote button pushes, so that to navigate down through 10 files and then play a file frequently takes hundreds of key presses. The units frequently loose network connection while idle, and this requires navigating all the way back to the main menu, frequently hundreds of button pushes on the remote. If a new file is added to the terastation or other media server the units lock up when a "refresh" is done to the server; any file that is playing halts. There are several buttons on the remote that if pushed lock the unit up to the point that a factory reset must be done to recover. Quote ends.

Mostly true, the buttons to surfe the files is not only up-down. There are small gray buttos under the left and right arrows, these are page up, page down. A small gray button above the right-arrow is Home, brings you back to the main level where you choose the server. You do not have to go back just by using the left arrow. For example pictures inside a directory (or all pictures) can be seen by juts pushing the up and down arrows when a pic is diplayed. Oct 22, 08

wings466: #buffalo_linktheater_pc_p4lwag I just did set up one. Streams well over WLAN and fits together with Buffalo LinkStation NAS and a Buffalo Airstation router.

That was about it for "pros", all cons stated by Fish4Fun are valid. To add a few from a Europen point of view:

The scart connection is a joke. It disturbs other scarts, can't "play together" with them and does not recognize (switch) the ration 16:9 . 4:3 as all other scart connected devices.

It does not support subtitles!! This is a big minus. The only way to watch movies is to burn the subtitles on the video and that is not the way to do it! Feb 1, 08
