Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Move the digital experience from your computer to your TV
Bring all your digital content from your PC and the Internet directly to your TV. Digital content is changing the way you get entertainment. You often listen to music files and streaming audio, and watch video files and streaming video on your PC. However, now with the NETGEAR Digital Entertainer (EVA700), you can enjoy your digital videos, photos and music on your home entertainment system or TV. The NETGEAR Digital Entertainer makes it easy to seamlessly access thousands of digital media files from your computer for viewing and listening in the comfort of your family room.

Stream Videos, Music and Photos
The Digital Entertainer EVA700 connects your TV or home entertainment system to your home computer network to deliver a world of new media enjoyment. The EVA700 streams digital movies, videos, music, radio and photos from your PC and can access thousands of digital files stored in your NETGEAR Storage Central (SC101) device. You can also play streaming media content, such as music and video from the Internet, by connecting to your home network and router. You can even play files saved on a USB storage device such as an iPOD™, USB thumb drive, USB disk, and some digital cameras with a USB interface by simply connecting any of these to the front USB port of the Digital Entertainer.

New Technology Ready
The NETGEAR Digital Entertainer is Intel® Viiv™ verified, enabling you to take advantage of Intel’s new platform for digital entertainment. The Digital Entertainer EVA700 supports seamless access to content, applications and services available on Intel® Viiv™ technology-enabled PCs. It also supports access to content on Microsoft® Windows® Media Center PCs through Windows Media Connect, and other universal plug-and-play (UPnP AV) media servers, such as TwonkyVision. You can use the wired ethernet port to connect the EVA700 directly to your wired home network, or add the optional Powerline HD Ethernet Adapter Kit (HDXB101) for high quality video and maximum streaming speeds across multiple rooms with much better results than a standard 802.11g WiFi network.

Easy On-Screen Selection
The NETGEAR Digital Entertainer gives you easy, remote control access to access to digital media files on your home network, as well as from popular Internet sites without getting up from the couch. When combined with NETGEAR’s Powerline HD Ethernet Adapter (HDXB101 two-in-one kit and HDX101 standalone, both sold separately), you can use the Digital Entertainer in any room of your home, regardless of where the computer is located. You’ll enjoy excellent quality and stable, consistent video streaming that lets you watch videos for hours without problems.

3.0 out of 5 stars Does the job - but no more..., 21 Mar 2007
I've had this unit for five months now.

The unit looks fantastic and sits well alongside other AV kit under the TV.

Connectivity was a breeze - it just works. It can find anything running a media server on my network.

I have found very few movie files that it can't play. I mainly use divx or xvid format files, and have not had any problems with this. It can't play files that use DRM protection.

The interface isn't that great, and that's where I knock off a few stars - there are no thumbnails for movies or pictures. I've found the speed of the interface depends greatly on what media server you are using. I initially used Windows Media Centre, which was then incorporated into the latest version of Windows Media Player. This was incredibly slow, so I moved to Twonky Media Server. The difference is incredible - page refreshes are almost instant, and it has resolved a lot of my niggles with the system.

The internet radio is a nice touch, but the novelty wears off. It's interesting to flick around the channels, but ultimately I wanted to watch videos on it so this got put to one side.

Overall, not a bad first attempt at a media player by Netgear - here's hoping they incorporate some of the suggestions coming from the user community into the next version.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does what it says on the box - eventually. But you need TwonkyVision, 25 Mar 2007
By Mr. J. Chick - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having recently purchased one of these units I had tremendous difficulty in getting the unit to access the media on my PC wirelessly. Windows Media Connect (built ionto media player 10 does a lamentable job. After searching and logging this issue with little result I saw references made to using TwonkyVision software. I tried this and all of a sudden all works and to be honest I have not yet got a single jitter even though all the media is accessed wirelessly from a PC upstairs. So, having regretted buying this bit of kit I now love it and can watch DVDs through my home cinema system flawlesslyQ

1.0 out of 5 stars If only it did what it promised..., 9 Dec 2007
By John L (Chesterfield) - See all my reviews
Far be it from me to diagree with the previous reviewers, but I've been trying to use this player for six months now.

It's a disaster, unstable and works intermittently with every media server I've tried (five and counting). Video and MP3 files which play flawlessly on any PC, lock up at varying points on the EVA700. NetGear support is non-existant and there's never been a firmware upgrade.

If you have any doubts, go to the NetGear official forum and check. There are very few happy customers of either the EVA700 or the EVA8000.
