Hi,
I've been playing around for a while with creating a media library at home to store photos, video and music. Up to now this was going to be Apple / iTunes / Apple TV based.
Now I have my new Humax set-up it appears to be quite easy and a lot more flexible.
I have the Humax HDR Fox T2 with a fantastic Edimax WiFi dongle I picked up from Maplins. Everything "just works" out of the box.
I only want to view my media library on my Hummy via the main TV for now and I don't want to copy everything to the HDD. I would also like the media library to be independent of my Mac or main PC so I don't need to leave them on.
I'm looking at a small NAS with built in DLNA capability so I can stream over WiFi.
I found this; http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/iomeg...ard-drive-cloud-edition-1tb-09531068-pdt.html
Questions;
This seems like a bargain for 1TB + DLNA?
Does anyone have experience of this device or could recommend a similar one at a similar price point?
I guess this could stream over WiFi or plug direct via the front or rear USB?
Advice appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
