OK
THE GOOD
Slim module can be mounted out-of-sight on back of the television; reliable, hiccup-free video streaming; works seamlessly with Sony's XMB interface; supports Amazon Video On Demand; a lot of free content.
THE BAD
Only compatible with select Sony televisions; sluggish interface and poorly designed menus; most of the content can be freely accessed from the Internet; free content is mostly lackluster; video quality is poor in many instances; doesn't stream media from a PC; superior alternatives available.
THE BOTTOM LINE
The Sony Bravia Internet Video Link (DMX-NV1) will stream Web video and Amazon Video On Demand to your Bravia HDTV, but its slow interface and limited content options will have you looking at alternatives.

0.5/5
People who rely on Verizon Wireless, AT&T, or clearwire "broadband" should not consider it as an option- they will not recieve the 120 free promotional movies. Sony wants people to have a router and stuff...
