"A great box that does what it says..."
What I like:
Ease of set up and quality of wireless TV around the house
What I don't like:
Styling is a little quirky and seems to run quite hot
Review:
Didn't really need this at all but the early reviews I read piqued my curiosity and made it sound like a true gadget fan's gadget. I still have trouble explaining to other people what it actually is and why I bought it but love it all same! Linked up perfectly to my Humax PVR and the remote that pops up on the PC screen is a good approximation of the real thing. Will be very useful when I'm away on business but haven't had the opportunity to test that yet. At the moment, just carrying my tablet PC around the house to watch TV anywhere is cool enough!

Our favourite ebook reader so far, despite lacking much of the functionality found in competing devices
