We bought this home multimedia player to work together with out Network Storage we had just recently gotten. We wanted to use this instead of every time when we want to watch a movie having to turn on one of our computers to access all our files on the network. Well, unfortunately for some reason the Iomega doesn't see anything else on the network unless you turn on everything at the same time (usually the network storage is always on). So we have to turn on a server that does routing in order for it to even work! Then when we finally can see the network storage, in order to access it you need to type a username and password. That is normal. What is not normal is that you can not save the username and password and therefore have to type it in every single time you turn the thing on!! Talk about frustrating! There has also been no firmware updates to correct any of these problems and support for the product sucks!!! It would have been better if we had bought one of those little dells (same size) and installed XP media center. Probably would have been more cost effective and saved us lots of time with having to put in the password everytime and start a server!!! DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!! The people who designed it probably never actually used it!
