Reviews

  • Seagate FreeAgent Theater

    Its poor video support means it's not perfect, but if you have a FreeAgent portable hard drive it's quite a capable photo and audio streamer.

  • Sony Bravia KDL46EX1

    The Sony Bravia KDL46EX1 is a gorgeous looking unit that shows the tremendous promise of wireless HD technology. But we’d hold off on investing till it matures a little.
