Eminent HD Media Player EM7280 Review

Rating: 7.5.

While many of our readers probably don't have a Media Player, for others, it has become an integral part of their entertainment within the house. Primarily, these devices allow you to store all of your Music and Films in one central location which can then be accessed by your TV or other computers. In theory, it eliminates the need for a DVD player and a large stack of DVD's, or more recently blu-ray discs.

  1. Nice looking device, but its quite costly and I think they might have a hard time against AC RYan who seem to dominate this market. shame about the processing power on the interface, but it might be code issues, rather than weak hardware. why no shot of insides?

  2. £200 is a bit steep, no? The Veolo looks much nicer, and its cheaper. no hard drive, but its a network device, no real need for that IMO
