The Bottom Line	The affordable Actiontec Wireless Digital Media Player packs some advanced features but falls short on implementation.	Equally adept at streaming audio, photos, and HD video, the D-Link MediaLounge DSM-520 offers a winning combination of impressive features and performance at an affordable price.	While it's a bit pricey and far from perfect, the Netgear Digital Entertainer Elite EVA9150 offers an easy way to access the widest array of digital audio, photo, and, especially, video files for the do-it-yourself crowd.	The one-two punch of Amazon and Netflix makes the Roku Player an enticing choice for anyone looking for a simple, convenient, and affordable alternative to cable or satellite TV.	The MediaPlayer's impressive combination of features makes it the strongest sub-$250 digital audio receiver to date.
