There’s been a lot said about Windows Vista, but even though many people don’t like all the different version choices many hail the Premium and Media Center versions of Vista for it’s capabilities. Linksys builds on that by creating a third part product, a “wireless media center” that you can access in your home from your Vista PC. Linksys was very smart by building the ability to have streaming movies, music, photos, and even 1080i upscaling to DVD quality by using the PVR features. It’s Wireless N (very fast!), and can send content to your surround sound and HDTV. If cable weren’t enough, since this is connected to the Internet – it can even access, stream, and download movies and TV from the web!
Access movies, your music library, family photos and HDTV programming from your Media Center PC and stream it all to your living room TV or home theater. New Linksys Media Center Extenders give you access to the entertainment content on your Microsoft Windows Vista Premium or Ultimate PC to enjoy in the comfort of your living room. Pause or rewind live TV, record sporting events or episodes of your favorite TV shows and save them for later viewing. Quickly naviga (more…)

DMA 2200
Set up was easy enough. Pictures and some videos work fine. The DMA 2200 only works with Windows Media Center, so watching internet tv is very limited. If your apps.

Very Nice
I am enjoying this Extender very much. My only complaints are not with the extender, but with Microsoft. I have a Vista Media PC and a Windows Home Server.

Does What It’s Supposed to Do
I looked at WMC Extenders for a long time before purchasing this item. I had been using my Xbox in the living room and needed something for the bedroom.

Limited Functionality
This product works as advertised. Nothing more or less. It’s tied to windows media center, which is a bloated under-developed piece of software.

Great Extender for the money but needs Firmware update to get 5 stars
Awesome Extender. DVD works well and will enhance your movies and does seem to look almost HD. It is a better value than its little brother, the DVD-less 2100.
