The Bottom Line	ADS Tech's Media-Link wireless digital media receiver isn't ready for prime time.		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.	The affordable Actiontec Wireless Digital Media Player packs some advanced features but falls short on implementation.	While it isn't infallible, the Western Digital WD TV HD Media Player plays back a wide array of audio, video, and image files on your TV without the need for a computer.
