D-Link DSM-510 Viiv-certified HD network media player

[Bob Crabtree]

D-Link now has available in the USA and Canada a second network media player that allows PC-based high-definition video to be enjoyed on HD TV sets.

The DSM-510 High-Definition Media Player - $240 from D-Link's online store - can connect using 802.11g/b wireless for stills, music and standard-res video but requires Ethernet cabling or fast (200Mpbs) mains-borne networking for high-def.

The Viiv-compatible newcomer is selling alongside the similarly-priced DSM-520 and, though the two feature-sets are similar, there are other difference apart from Viiv, perhaps the most significant being size.

I hope it's better than the 520 !!

Mine is back with Komplett right now for reasons stated in my mini review in HeXus HD. And what would be the use of the USB if not for a HDD ? (mine didnt accept any USB devices that I offered it !)

Perhaps for a pendrive?
