On the prowl for a do-it-all HD capable media adapter? If yes, check out the recently launched (and reasonably priced – MSRP $249) EZfetch Wireless HD Digital Media Player from EZ4Media. Bottom line: The device is on par, capability-wise, with Netgear’s EVA8000 Digital Entertainer HD, but for a $100 less and includes the popular SimpleCenter AV server software. Both are UPnP AV and DLNA standard compliant boxes, include USB drive support, and offer playback for every imaginable codec – of course, EZ4Media claims their box offers more codec support than any other currently on the market (though the EVA8000 includes Internet radio support while the EZfetch does not). Anyhow, EZfetch is another great option to consider if your a Windows user. (I believe EZfetch will work with Mac or Linux using a third-party UPnP compatible media server application like TwonkyMedia.)
