I often see US sites offering Media Center Extenders at discounted prices so it’s nice to see a UK site offering a great deal on Linksys Extenders. Dabs.com are selling the DMA2100 for £97.86, this is a great price as it was originally priced at £188. If you looking for a cheap way...

Hey all. I just got the Linksys DMA2100 Media Center Extender from NewEgg.com for $99 last week (As of right now the price is $119). The overall setup was easy until I got to the wireless network setup. My wireless network is a 802.11n network, and I have also selected that the network broadcast only...

You may remember me getting a bit upset by Paul Thurrott’s dismissal of the new generation of Extenders for Windows Media Center. Basically he said the extenders were no better than the old models and they were not worth looking at. I totally disagreed with that and it looks like Paul may have softened...

Sadly I had to return my loan Extenders back to Linksys so I can’t test the updates Linksys has put out for the Extenders. Chris Lanier has details on the updates for the Extender that you should see the update in the settings section of the Extender, according to Chris these are the fixes: Playback...

I have already mentioned my disappointment of Paul Thurrot's dismissing of the Linksys Extenders ( here ) and Steve Lindsay expresses his thoughts. He mentioned some points that Paul completely missed, things like form factor, weight, power consumption, built in wireless network and divx support. Plus...

Some times I like Windows Weekly with Paul Thurrott and some times the show really gets on my nerves. Normally Paul and host Leo Laporte seem to forget about Media Center completely while Paul gets his facts mixed up on Windows topics. This week Paul totally dismissed the Linksys extenders blaming poor...

If you have been following part 1 and part 2 of Chris Lanier's Linksys review you want to read his wrap up in part 3 . He has a nice table of pros and cons of the Extenders. I still think the Xbox 360 makes a great extender if the form factor works for you. I’d really like to see Extenders integrated...

Chris has posted part 2 of his Extender review and he has a nice table of supported content which is always the first question when looking a media player devices.He also tested out the network performance. When first setup I did have some pixilation and blocking while playing HD recordings and was prompted...

Chris Lanier has started a review of the Linksys extenders and he walks through the setup process including wireless networking. Part 1 is up now and part 2 and 3 are coming soon. Between Microsoft and Linksys I’ve received a whole package of Media Center related goodies to test. Instead of this...

( You can read my first impression in here ) This video shows the unboxing of the DMA2200, the setup process and getting it working with my Media...

As I have been using the Extenders (see the the unboxing videos here ) for a few days and I have had loads of questions so I thought I would try and put some of the points down here 5.1 Audio I thought I would try a WMV file with 5.1 audio encoded in it. The file is a conversion of a DVD for which I...

I was about to packup the Linksys DMA2100 and unbox the 2200 when I thought it would be interesting to compare the Extender function of the Xbox 360 with the Linksys DMA2100. So with both extenders connected up to my TV I made a side by side comparison of the two users interfaces. I tried standard TV...

Tonight I had my first play with Linksys's DMA2200 , over the last week I have been using the DMA2100 ( see this video ) and have found it pretty good, not quite up to the Xbox 360 as an Extender but its silent and small. The DMA2200 is the 2100's big brother. It has a built in upscaling DVD player and...

I have reposted this as the post didn't get pickup in the rss feed As promised on my "first impressions" post here is the video of the unboxing and setup of the DMA2100. The video shows the unboxing and how I setup the Extender to connect with my Media Center PC. It wasn't all plane sailing, mainly due...

Tonight I had my first play with Linksys's DMA2100 Media Center Extender, so here are my first impressions. I have been using an Xbox 360 as an extender for nearly two years now and am very happy with it so going to be hard for the new Extenders to match up to that. First thing you notice is how small...

Having waited for for Media Center Extenders to come to the UK for years today two have arrived at once! Linksys have sent me a DMA2100 and DMA2200 for a review. So I plan on unboxing and recording my first impressions tonight. Is there anything I should be looking at or you would like me to focus...

At CES Linksys where showing off their new Extenders and part of the demo was of home security using mControl from Embedded Automation.

I have just come from a meeting with Paul McIntosh of Linksys and he showed me their range of Network devices. The first thing I noticed is that they seem to get digital lifestyle concept. Their new router is sleek and the built in Management Software is very simple and visual for an end user to setup...
