The product works great. Installing the product requieres some advance knowledge about networks and computers. It integrates gretly with windows media player 11, wich makes it easier, though the original manual and firmware wich it comes with doesn't says anything about it. D-Link Support, as always, doesn't help much. As a player it works flawlessly. The down side is on the networking hand, requierd bandwith for 720p is too high for 802.11G, but for divx dvd it's ok. So if you are planning on watching HD contect make sure you have a wired connection. I think this problem, for this price, D-Link should have added a disk drive or at least a memory buffer big enough to play HD content. Unfortunately for d-link, for the same price there are many other better products than this one. I Bought it couse I'm a D-Link fan and never had a problem with their routers, but now I'll reconsider my position on non-routers products.

The DSM 510 is really a great concept and works pretty well. Wired network hookup was straight forward and easy to accomplish. It quickly found my Windows Home Server and all of the media on it. If there are any weaknesses they are the lack of sorting options and the remote arrow keys producing multiple responses. As expected the device will not work with my DVI-I input on my monitor with an HDMI to DVI-I cable, for now the composite output is acceptable. If I had it to do over I would get the DSM 520 which also has component video output.

It works like a charm. Easy setup..use TVersity for everything. My system: computer: Dell I530 quad 2.4(not a VIIV!). Install TVersity. Router: Verizon MI424-WR. Connection: wireless. TV: Sceptre X42, connected by HDMI. Smooth run, no stuttering. Have not figured out continuous run for files in a video album yet...... BTW, I didnt buy it from Amazon..it was from CC, on sale about $52 bucks.
