Netgear EVA8000 Digital Entertainer HD Images

By Jeremy Roche and Craig Simms on 08/01/2008

More NETGEAR reviews , RRP: AU$599.00

The good:

  • Extensive file format support
  • YouTube and Flickr browsing
  • Plays purchased (DRM) music
  • Supports streaming HD from PC to TV

The bad:

  • Fiddly set-up process
  • Slow start-up and laggy interface
  • No 802.11n support

The bottomline:

On paper, Netgear's EVA8000 appears to be a media hoarder's dream, but although support is extensive it simply feels unfinished.

Editors' rating:

6.5/10

Users' rating:

6.7/10
