Good stuff -- but have the right network

Feedback Type:  Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

The product works. That in itself is pretty amazing. I've tried to make it work on an Airport network (with 802.11b WAPs) and the latency is too much... playback will freeze within a few seconds of starting with default settings. Making use of the transcoding will get you MUCH further, but one has to play with the settings to find what works. Network latency due to use of hubs rather than switches, distance of wireless transceiver from airport client, other traffic on network or server activity ... they all play into improving success. But just for the sheer technical joy of 'doing it', this product really rocks. After two hours of playing and watching, I rediscovered that there's absolutely nothing on worth my time. 57 channels and there's nothing on - springsteen.
