The Bottom Line	The Ziova CS505 is a network media player that has an attractive feature set and promising interface, but it's undermined by quirky performance and so-so stability.	The Ziova CS510 digital-media receiver has attractive features and a promising interface, but they're undermined by quirky performance and so-so stability.	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.	A bargain price and built-in DVD player distinguishes the Linksys DMA2200 from rival Windows Media Center Extenders, but we found the performance to be inconsistent.	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.
