Summary: Linksys DMA-2200
Comment: Incredible value!!! Not only does it cost less than the D-Link Media Center Extender, but it also comes with an upconverting DVD player. All for $139. My only complaint is that when you initially turn it on it takes almost a minute to fully boot up. But other than that, it works flawlessly.

Summary: working best with dual band WRT600N wireless
Comment: No more networking issue when it is paired with the dual band WRT600N. It has been working solidly without dropping and connected evertime when the Vista Media PC is on. I have set up the WRT600N (using WPA2 AES) with 5GHz for media only and the 2.4GHz for non-media traffic like internet and other networking. It is designed for wireless use. If it only works well with ethernet cable, I will not be satisfied at all.
The only complaint that I have is the not so-fast remote control response,
but I am realistic for the fact that remote plus remote equals slow.

Summary: Works as advertised
Comment: This little box connected easily to my media workstation two floors away. Picture is good and the system works as advertised. I would buy it again.

Summary: Wire this up and you are set!!!
Comment: I can tell you that I really like this product. These units work with a clear wireless connection. If that's not possible I highly recommend a connection using ethernet. If you can do the ethernet connection, you will be very satisfied. I own one of these without the DVD built in. I suggest you go with the DVD version. For whatever reason it seems to work even better than the non-DVD unit. These also work best when the computer that you are "extending" from is one of the more powerful computers on the market. You can put this computer anywhere in the home that you have room and not worry about it because of the extenders. If your home is wired with ethernet already, there is no reason not to get one of these and start using your Windows Vista w/ a tv tuner. They really are better than Tivo. Digital pictures you have taken look great on your large screen LCD. Music that is stored on a massive hard drive anywhere in your house can be enjoyed over your living room sound system. It all requires a little different thinking on entertainment management. So get started today, it's fun.

Summary: Ok, but still not as good as a 360
Comment: I love that it makes no noise, and is very easy to setup. I think the only thing that I was disappointed in was the video quality was not as good as my Xbox 360 when used as an extender. It just doesn't have the smooth video animations for the Media Center UI, or the same color quality as the 360 produces. I tried it both on a large plasma TV and a regular standard def TV. I ended up leaving on the SD TV because on the plasma the color loose is more noticeable.
Since this is being used in the bedroom, and I got it at a good price, I'm still ok with the purchase. If it comes down to noise and heat, I would suggest this unit. If you are more worried about video quality, then stick with an Xbox 360 as an extender.
