Been getting some sweet deals lately. Amazon had 100$ off of linksys v2 extenders and I jumped right on it as Ive always wanted to bring the media center experience and all of my media to the bedroom tv. I decided to go with the DMA2100 as I didnt need a dvd drive. Its a small device and for the most part silent which is needed for the bedroom. I have it hooked up via ethernet and streaming live and recorded tv both HD and SD is almost perfect except at some times I notice some mpeg noise from time to time on the HD streams. Watching my movie collection is also nice most of my collection is encoded with xvid which is supported but the few that are divx do not work which I heard linksys was working on. Now most of my movies have external subtitle files so the media center is not able to read them which is a bummer. Be a nice feature to have but I didnt expect it as I had to install 3rd party apps to get it to work on the main MCE machine. Audio is great as well I can stream my mp3 collection into the room so when im cleaning or need to queue up some chill music to nap to I can do so. On top of that my harmony 550 remote controls everything in the apartment now including the extender and TV in the room. One remote to rule them all and in the darkness bind them. Anyhow im starting to feel as if my one bedroom apartment is getting a lil too connected….
