THE GOOD
Streams home TV and other audiovisual sources to any broadband-connected Mac, Windows PC, Windows Mobile, Palm, or Symbian device in the world; streams HD video (bandwidth permitting); no host PC or monthly charges required; easy-to-use software; controls almost all cable and satellite boxes and DVRs; superb video quality over home network, good video quality via the Internet; simple, straightforward setup.
