Digital Media Receivers Fri, 11 Jun 2010 02:50:00 PDT http://reviews.cnet.com/Samsung_BD_C5500/4505-9991_7-33971079.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=TR_Video+Players+and+Recorders The BD-C5500's expandable Samsung Apps platform and DLNA compatibility make it stand out from other entry-level players, although it's one of the slower players we've tested. Blu-ray players/recorders Fri, 14 May 2010 03:26:00 PDT http://reviews.cnet.com/Seagate_FreeAgent_Theater/4505-6463_7-33775715.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=TR_Video+Players+and+Recorders The addition of HDMI output, network streaming, and improved file compatibility makes the Seagate FreeAgent Theater+ media player a better value than its predecessor.

Consoles Wed, 23 Jun 2010 05:11:00 PDT http://reviews.cnet.com/Seagate_FreeAgent_GoFlex_TV/4505-6739_7-34122549.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=TR_Video+Players+and+Recorders The inclusion of Netflix and other online-streaming options make the FreeAgent GoFlex TV a compelling option for file hoarders who also want access to cloud-based media. Digital Media Receivers Thu, 22 Jul 2010 02:00:00 PDT http://reviews.cnet.com/Oppo_BDP_80/4505-9991_7-33971088.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=TR_Video+Players+and+Recorders Oppo's BDP-80 Blu-ray player doesn't perform well enough to make up for its lack of Wi-Fi, streaming media features, and 3D Blu-ray support. Blu-ray players/recorders Fri, 09 Apr 2010 10:13:00 PDT http://reviews.cnet.com/Panasonic_DMP_BD85K/4505-9991_7-33971085.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=TR_Video+Players+and+Recorders Panasonic's DMP-BD85K has great image quality and its 7.1 analog outputs are a nice plus, but it's slow and less featured than competing models. Blu-ray players/recorders Wed, 21 Apr 2010 11:09:00 PDT http://reviews.cnet.com/Samsung_BD_C6900/4505-9991_7-33971078.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=TR_Video+Players+and+Recorders The Samsung BD-C6900 has excellent Blu-ray performance and is loaded with features, but you pay a lot for the 3D functionality.

Video Players and Recorders Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:43:00 PDT http://reviews.cnet.com/Sony_BDP_N460/4505-9991_7-33770823.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=TR_Video+Players+and+Recorders The Sony BDP-N460's attractive mix of Blu-ray performance, relatively low price, and streaming media options--including Netflix--make it a solid midrange pick, despite some missing features. Blu-ray players/recorders Fri, 18 Dec 2009 03:51:00 PST http://reviews.cnet.com/Insignia_Infocast/4505-6739_7-34122469.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=TR_Video+Players+and+Recorders It won't slice or dice, brew your coffee, or fetch your slippers, but the Insignia Infocast's ability to put news, music, photos, calendars, and social networks at your fingertips makes it a worthy addition to today's digitally-enabled home. Digital Media Receivers Wed, 11 Aug 2010 04:07:00 PDT http://reviews.cnet.com/Moxi_HD_DVR_two_tuner/4505-6474_7-33508033.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=TR_Video+Players+and+Recorders If you can get past the high price of entry, the Moxi HD DVR's bevy of network and Internet-enhanced features makes it a potentially worthwhile TiVo competitor. Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) Thu, 25 Feb 2010 03:51:00 PST http://reviews.cnet.com/Sony_BDP_S570/4505-9991_7-33971082.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=TR_Video+Players+and+Recorders The Sony BDP-S570 has all the features of other midrange Blu-ray players, plus future 3D support and best-in-class operational speed, but its streaming-video performance over Wi-Fi is spotty. Blu-ray players/recorders Wed, 24 Mar 2010 02:33:00 PDT http://reviews.cnet.com/Chumby_One/4505-6739_7-33874298.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=TR_Video+Players+and+Recorders It's hard to say if the Chumby One works better as an alarm clock, a photo frame, a news reader, or as an Internet radio, but for around $100, it's a great value in any incarnation. Digital Media Receivers Wed, 02 Dec 2009 12:54:00 PST http://reviews.cnet.com/Roku_HD_XR_Player/4505-6739_7-33798751.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=TR_Video+Players+and+Recorders New content channels and faster Wi-Fi make the Roku HD XR Player a good choice for anyone who wants a quick and easy way to add Netflix--and a variety of other Internet media channels--to any TV. Digital Media Receivers Wed, 09 Dec 2009 05:14:00 PST http://reviews.cnet.com/Uebo_M200_Media_Player/4505-6739_7-34147058.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=TR_Video+Players+and+Recorders Priced competitively with similar products, the M200 is a great networked media streamer for the do-it-yourself content guru. Digital Media Receivers Tue, 24 Aug 2010 01:44:00 PDT http://reviews.cnet.com/LG_BD550/4505-9991_7-33971073.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=TR_Video+Players+and+Recorders Quick load times, excellent Blu-ray image quality, and a generous suite of streaming services make the LG BD550 a solid entry-level Blu-ray player. Blu-ray players/recorders Mon, 24 May 2010 01:55:00 PDT http://reviews.cnet.com/LG_BD590/4505-9991_7-33943657.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=TR_Video+Players+and+Recorders The LG BD590 deftly handles Blu-ray playback, CD ripping, and streaming media services like Netflix from a single box, but you'll have to pay for that simplicity.

Digital Media Receivers Fri, 06 Nov 2009 04:10:00 PST http://reviews.cnet.com/Oppo_BDP_83/4505-9991_7-33712796.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=TR_Video+Players+and+Recorders The Oppo BDP-83 is an outstanding universal disc player with excellent performance on Blu-rays and DVDs and lightning-fast operational speed, but most home theater fans will balk at the high price. Blu-ray players/recorders Wed, 02 Sep 2009 10:08:00 PDT http://reviews.cnet.com/Moxi_Mate/4505-6474_7-33976884.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=TR_Video+Players+and+Recorders For those wanting to get more from a single cable TV connection, the Moxi Mate is worth considering as an add-on to a Moxi DVR, but you'll need a fat wallet and more than a little patience. Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) Mon, 30 Aug 2010 03:07:00 PDT http://reviews.cnet.com/LG_BD570/4505-9991_7-33971074.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=TR_Video+Players+and+Recorders As long as you don't need 3D compatibility, the LG BD570 offers the same mix of solid Blu-ray playback and media streaming that made its predecessor a hit. Blu-ray players/recorders Thu, 11 Mar 2010 01:05:00 PST http://reviews.cnet.com/Samsung_BD_C6500/4505-9991_7-33971080.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=TR_Video+Players+and+Recorders Samsung's BD-C6500 Blu-ray player has excellent image quality, outstanding features for the price, and a slick design--we just wish it were a little faster. Blu-ray players/recorders Mon, 10 May 2010 03:05:00 PDT http://reviews.cnet.com/Vizio_VBR200W/4505-9991_7-33985367.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=TR_Video+Players+and+Recorders The Vizio VBR200W Blu-ray player is rough around the edges and a little slow, but you do get a lot of bang for your buck. Blu-ray players/recorders Mon, 26 Apr 2010 03:18:00 PDT http://reviews.cnet.com/Toshiba_BDX2700/4505-9991_7-33971076.html?subj=fdba&part=rss&tag=TR_Video+Players+and+Recorders The Toshiba BDX2700 is currently a little cheaper than other midrange Blu-ray players and includes 7.1 analog outputs, but otherwise there's little reason to favor it over faster models with better features.
