The Bottom Line	The highly versatile Buffalo LinkTheater can play DVDs, high-def streaming video, and digital music, but it falls short on implementation.		Although it offers reliable streaming, the Buffalo LinkTheater Wireless-A&G PC-P4LWAG is ultimately hampered by its sluggish navigation, limited feature set, and other quirks.	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.	If you don't already own an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 and are serious about networked streaming, the WD TV Live is probably one of your best choices for getting content to your TV.
