    The ASUS O!Play HDP-R1 is a versatile high-definition media streamer that can play content from a PC on a wired Ethernet network or from a directly attached external hard drive. It will stream video, music and photos, and, once you update its firmware, you'll even be able to access a vast selection of online video content. It is reasonably stylish — it's black with blue LEDs — and it's small, but thick. Read more

    • Didn't show up as a UPnP device in Windows 7, Internet video streaming was poor

    I got one of these for X'mas and my family liked it so much that we decided to purchase and install these in each bedroom. We have them hooked up via network connected to a 2TB NAS. Turned them (all 4) on and there were no problems at all. My only gripe: I'm a bit of a control freak when it comes to how I like to operate any of my media devices and this one does not allow me to indulge in this. Read more

    • Easy to use, supports a lot of file formats,
    • Over-simplistic
