It all adds up to a bit of a mixed bag. On paper, the DivX endorsement makes it look like an exciting development and it looks good value too at just £130. I really like the menu systems, video playback quality is superb, and the ease with which you can go online and download from the Stage6 website is a real boon.
But it's severely limited in its appeal, principally by its restriction to the DivX connected server software, which means anyone with media stored on a NAS box won't give it a second look, but also by the lack of a search function for the Stage6 website and the lack of a USB port for connecting external storage.Read full review
