What is it: Media streamer capable of delivering 1080p video from your computer to a TV
What we think: The A-110 doesn't represent a massive leap forward from the A-100, but every change is worthwhile and adds to the overall package

We like:
Picture quality; sound quality; connection options; flexibility; user interface; ability to play 1080p
We don't like:
It's not that easy to get in the UK; no Wi-Fi
Also known as:
Networked Media Tank; Syabas Popcorn Hour A-110
CNET UK judgement:
The A-110 is a decent improvement over the original A-100, with a few useful features that will be attractive to some. The price increase is quite significant, but if you must have HDMI 1.3, DTS decode and SATA support, you'll think it worthwhile
