Netgear Digital Entertainer HD EVA8000 was launched by Netgear during CES in Las Vegas and is nothing less than a digital entertainment unit which you connect to your home network. It searches your network for media and then organizes it into a single library which makes it possible to access all media on all of your computer from a single unit and through a quick and easy move play it on your TV. The player comes with both HDMI and component video, digital sound via S/PDIF (coax and optic), support for external USB storage units, but also s-video and scart. For those who are curious there is also support for both torrents and YouTube, but also many types of DRM-protected videos.
