Linksys Media Center Extender DMA2200 review
The Linksys Media Center Extender DMA220 is probably the best media streamer we've seen so far. It keeps your living room quiet and PC-free and it's a breeze to set up. It can handle a wide range of codecs, its DVD player will upscale to 1080p and it works wirelessly Read more

Sling Media SlingCatcher review
The SlingCatcher is an add-on for Sling Media's Slingbox that lets you stream the content of one TV to another around the world. An attractive piece of kit, the SlingCatcher has generally good picture quality and also supports video playback via USB, but we couldn't help wondering if there's that much point to it Read more

Hauppauge WinTV-PVR TV Anywhere review
Hauppauge's 'HardPVR' model, with dedicated hardware MPEG-2 encoder chip, doesn't rely on your computer's CPU to take the strain of recording video -- making all the difference to a slow PC. It's compatible with Orb, letting you stream live TV, photos, music and video to a Web-enabled laptop or mobile phone Read more

Sling Media Slingbox Pro review
The Slingbox Pro hasn't ventured too far from the features that made the original so successful. It still lets you watch and control your home TV on an Internet-enabled laptop or mobile phone, but hi-def HDMI input has been added, and the video processing speeded up Read more

Sling Media Slingbox Solo review
While it's an entry-level alternative to the Slingbox Pro, the Sling Media Slingbox Solo is a pretty good looking younger sibling. With its contemporary air, it's small and finished in glossy metal. Its main function allows you to watch your home TV remotely, making it more than just a pretty face Read more

Sony LocationFree review
The Sony LocationFree lets you watch TV programmes being shown at your house remotely via the Internet, just like the Slingbox. Its best feature is that it works with the PSP, an ideal device for watching video on the go, but it's more expensive and has fewer features than its rival Read more
