Excellent product, easy to set up, easy to use.

I really didn't want a whole other computer set up.I set out looking for something that had all the features I wanted ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - HP X280N MediaSmart Connect
The HP MediaSmart Connect is a quality product. It performs as stated in the product literature. Set up went prettly smoothly. The only challenge was configuring the security settings on my home network. With the help of an internet query, I was able to get the security setting set up. Once the network was set up, everything has worked perfectly.

Access to my pictures, music library and video library are great. Viewing TV from my PC tuner is excellent plus you have the benefit of ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Best Streamer
How I wrote my review:

Timing for this review: After one month of Daily use of the HPx280n

Background: I did not read any other review of this product. I'm trying to be the most objective I can.

Previous experience with other streamers: I will try to compare my Experience with HPx280n to my experience with my other streamer: Netgear EVA8000 (I have used the EVA8000 for more than one year . You also can read my review about that device in Amazon.com).

Using it as a straight media extender seems to work as expected. Picture quality is nice. The remote control is better than the Linksys ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Poor HP Support
I purchased the HP MediaSmart Connect X280n soon after they were released for market in early August. The unit setup in about 30 minutes as advertised. The unit integrated into my home network without a hitch. The jpeg files played flawlessly on my HD TV. The colors and resolution were superb; the best quality photos that I have been able to produce on a TV. However, I could not play the music or video files on the unit and they were the file format that is advertised as being supported. Whenever I attempted ... Read More
