Streamers' comparison table

[Yigal]

Is there a comparison table that compares the main features of the existing streamers?

 

[thiggins]

No. Sorry.

I just posted some comments/comparisons in my last post:

I'd look for a few features on each:
-output: hdmi? spdif optical?
-wireless capability vs wired?
-user interface: ease of use, configurability?
-quality of remote control
-price?
-compatibility with file types

Yes, there is. If you go to the AVS forum section under content streamers they have a fairly complete comparison chart.

Thanks for the info. How about a link?

My reply was referring to SmallNetBuilder, not the Internet!

Great question, a very good streamer usually can do HD audio, or as a pass-through, SPDIF, has a 1GB wired interface, can play both types ISO's, and does not falter on BDMV's. Plus a slick interface that is easily changeable.
Netflix queing is good, but the ability to handle 1:1 bluray rips with deep bitrates and without stutters is paramount.
I manufacture streamers, getting all that is not easy.
Oh, and SMB and NFS, because sometimes SMB just won't cut it.
Believe it or not, one of the most consistent consumer demands is for a upgradeable interface, with great artwork.
