We like:
Simple interface; good video playback quality; easy to set up
We don't like:
Doesn't work with BBC iPlayer content; no support for subtitles; no Wi-Fi
CNET UK judgement:
The DMA-1000's low price, broad file format support and easy-to-use interface make this high-definition media streamer a decent budget option. Still, it's a shame it can't play DRM content such as the videos you can now download using the BBC’s iPlayer service
