      2.0 out of 5 stars So much potential wasted
      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 January 2008
      I bought this product with a great deal of anticipation, but eventually was forced to return it due to various failings several of which:

      1) Failure to "daisy chain" on a SCART socket (demands to be the only device due to not switching off; not very energy efficient).
      2) Does not stream media from Vista. Despite 2 hours of very poor support this device would not accept windows media player streaming (despite Vista seein it, it could not see VISTA).
      3) Continual loss of PC when using "PCLink". This meant that the device needed to continually be added back onto the security enabled network. Not a great experience.
      4) When plugged into my new shiny HD TV I got poor HD playback. It appears my 2.4Gig dual core X64 processor with 4gb of memory PC was not capable transmitting HD over a Wireless-g network without stuttering. It may be bandwidth, but nothing else was using any bandwidth!

      I would not recommend this device unless you have an unsecured wireless network and a lot of patience.

      imo.

      3.0 out of 5 stars Diverse media support, poor DVD
      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 December 2007
      To start with, a small clarification, this unit is not a DVD recorder. It comes with Nero Recode which allows you to convert non-copyright DVDs to Nero digital files to store on your PC. The important thing to note here is non-copyright; don't expect to RIP your own purchased DVD's if they have copyright protection.

      The good points:

      It supports a decent number of video formats, including Xvid, Divx, WMV and Digital Nero. I have had no problems playing most of my videos. I also had no issues playing MP3's or displaying JPEG's.

      It's easy to set up and personally I have had no issues with networking speed but I'm using the Ethernet port at 100MB rather than wireless.

      It just plugs and plays using its own rather basic sharing software (see bad points), but I have successfully accessed content on my PC using several other media sharing services.

      You can update the firmware online, let's hope that some improvements come soon.

      The Bad points:

      The interface is a basic text list as mentioned in another review; it really needs some work from Linksys.

      The media sharing software that is shipped with the unit only sorts your content by folders, and you need to be logged onto the PC with it running to access the files. I'm now using TwonkeyMedia to access my files, it's far superior, and I don't need to log on to the PC as it runs as a service.

      Fast forwarding some videos past 8x speed can lock the unit and it needs to be reset to recover. Those that do fast forward at the maximum of 32x need a few seconds whilst the video is buffered.

      When playing DVD's, the player doesn't remember where the disc has gotten up to when you stop it, requiring a bit of chapter jumping to get back it where you were.

      Overall:

      It's potentially a very good player, but Linksys need to write some new firmware for it to really improve the interface. It's also much better when used with other Media Sharing software. It has an HDMI interface and digital audio connectors for 5.1 support, but I have yet to try these.

      This is a unit for the more technically competent, who aren't too fused about the interface and want a unit with more media support and thats cheaper than the AppleTV box.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Best streamer I know
      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 December 2008
      I bought the KISS1600 to access my pictures and videos from my NAS. It does it very well, very stable, play fine any files I've tried. I have tried different players and so far, this one is definitively the best.
      The user interface is easy to understand and you can stream your files from your PC as well.
      Funny one: I have a Nokia N95 and I can take pictures with my phone and the phone can find my KISS1600 and then I can see my picture straight on my TV. Really cool.
      I think this device is the most stable in its category, and it really can play lots of format, from standard Def to HD. A very good catch!

      5.0 out of 5 stars Best gadget so far
      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 June 2007
      This is by far the best gadget I have bought so far. Was looking for a means of sending mp3 and avi direct from my computer to my tv/amp via wireless in a different room.

      The house I am in has very thick walls and I was concerned however, I have a very good signal and getting good quality avi files and mp3 direct to tv. No flickering and very easy to install. Recommend this item.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Works a treat...
      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 November 2007
      I think the user reviews for this product are either 1 star or 5 stars. You either got it working or one that works or you didnt. Lucky for me I did and as the title says it works a treat.

      It connected first time to my wireless network and, based on some reviews, I fired up my first XVid file with trepidation. Within 5 seconds it was playing fine, I have found this with all files I have tried so far (none of this 45 second wait). The box itself has frozen a couple of times when switching from SkyHD and back with both boxes connected via HDMI but when I upgraded the firmware this stopped.

      The firmware upgrade also greatly improved the search facility which is fine after a short pause and now goes up to 32x. There is some criticism of the menu interface and it is a bit basic looking but it works and as long as your files are stored and named well this isnt too much of a problem.

      Pros:
      Quick to install, easy to use and it works.

      Cons:
      No way of browsing to a specific point in time in a given file (i.e. start playing at a specified point).
      Not very good support of ID3 tags on MP3s - doesnt bother me as I have a squeezebox but this does undermine its "multi-media" pretensions.
      Image viewing and slide show a bit ropey but again I didnt buy it for this.
      Interface could be a bit nicer.

      4.0 out of 5 stars Linksys KiSS 1600 - Alles läuft so wie es soll, kann ich nur weiterempfehlen!
      Reviewed in Germany on 14 January 2010
      Verified Purchase
      Hallo alle zusammen,

      also habe mir den Linksys Kiss 1600 gebraucht über Amazon gekauft und muss sagen ich bin voll und ganz zufrieden.

      Um es kurz zu halten, hier eine Pro & Kontra Zusammenstellung.

      Pro:

      + Spielt so gut wie alle gängigen Formate ab (errinnert stark an PC Softeware VLC).
      + Wlan funktioniert bei 54Mbit/s so wie es soll, Ruckelfrei! (Beispiel: Notebook 54Mbit/s --> Router / Modem (Standart Telekom) --> Linksys 1600)
      + USB Anschluss hat mehrere getestete externe Festplatten (Samsung,WD,SG... 500 GB, 1 TB, etc.. auch ohne externe Stromquelle ohne Probleme erkannt und ohne probleme alles ruckelfrei abgespielt.
      + Online Service spitze! Shoutcast (winamp), online Update Service für neue Firmware, usw...
      + Einstellungsmöglichkeiten bzgl. HDMI, Sound, usw.. sehr sehr umfangreich!
      + Sehr schlichtes dynamisches Design, passt in jedes Wohnzimmer.
      + usw...

      Kontra:

      - Keine Rip möglichkeiten :(
      - leider nur in schwarz erhältlich, weiß wäre unter anderen auch angesagt.

      Also wenn ihr eine kleine feine Multimediabox mit !DVD Player! sucht, dann ist Kiss 1600 aller erste Wahl, als alternative würde ich auch Produkte von popcornhour empfehlen.

      Gruß,

      Alex

      3.0 out of 5 stars Leider nicht das, was ich wollte

      Vielleicht hab ich mich im Vorfeld nich genügend informiert...
      Ich dachte, ich könnte mit dem KiSS 1600 auf meinem Media Server zugreiffen (Thecus N1200 mit Metabolic Media Server). Leider kann das die KiSS 1600 nicht.

      Aber ansonsten machte das Gerät einen guten Eindruck. Anschluss und Konfiguration gingen problemlos. Der Zugriff über KiSS PC-Link hat auch sofort funktioniert und meine VOBs wurden problemlos abgespielt.
      Die Qualität war über HDMI auf meinem Philips 37PFL9732 sehr gut.

      Allerding hatte ich auch hier gehofft, das eine gerippte DVD auch als solche abgespielt werden könnte. Ob die Software auf das DVD-Laufwerk oder einen Netzwerkordner zugreifft sollte ihr doch egal sein, oder?

      Hätte ich nicht schon einen sehr guten DVD-Player, dann hätte ich die KiSS behalten. So macht sie für mich aber keinen Sinn.
