Summary: Still Needs Work
Comment: The D-Link DSM 330 loaded with DivX Connected software is a media manager that connects your digital files (music, video, photos & online content) with your television. DivX Connected bridges the gap between desktop and home entertainment center, however, the lack of comprehensive codec support, limited online content and heavy price tag for the DSM-330 are areas where these products could be improved. DivX has a head start with its simple start up and intuitive UI, and I wouldn't be surprised if this product gets a major facelift in the near future.

Summary: Actually, 4.5 stars, but well worth the money
Comment: I've been using the DivX Connected box for over a year now as I got it while it was in beta test. We use it a lot and it works very, very well at what it was designed to do: play on your TV/stereo the media that are located on your PC. We have gobs of movies and children's shows and music on our PC upstairs. In the basement is our main TV. Having a PC in the basement would not be good, as they tend to be loud and hot. This unit interacts with the DivX Connected software running on the media PC upstairs and converts, on the fly, all our media to a format that looks quite good on our TV. Of course, the files that are small (e.g., QVGA video files) will not look terribly good blown up to 1080p, but reasonable files (most of our stuff is ripped to VGA or 720x480) looks excellent. My only quibble is that our unit sometimes will hang upon startup forcing me to yank and reinsert the power cable. I chalk that up to it being a beta unit and I assume these D-Link units do not have that issue. For the price, this unit offers a LOT of functionality and works very well. We've tried over half a dozen different video/media streamers and this is the only one we've kept.

Summary: Excelent device!
Comment: Overall I love it. I can play all my downloaded media content, home videos, and browse family photos on my tv. It would be nice if it handled a gigabit network connection, because browsing media can stutter sometimes. That being said, I was forced to setup a wired connection because the wireless was a little to slow. Also I thought it would give a little more help organizing content, but it is left up to the user and how your organize you files on your computer. All in all device does what it says, making it easy to setup and get to all your media.

Summary: Good Idea -HDMI Issues big flaw
Comment: D-Link DivX Connected HD Media Player (DSM-330)
I have been waiting for the US introduction a long time. Basically it performs as advertised, except for one major issue. I have been unable to get sound on the HDMI interface to work with my Sharp 65inch LCD. Since I was mostly interested in the HDMI capability the product is no more useful than any on the many existing alternatives. From looking on the web, it appears that this is not an isolated issue but no solution has been proposed.
