article published on 3 September, 2007
Creating a device that should rival the Apple TV, DivX and D-Link have signed an agreement that will bring the first DivX Connected device to consumers.
In all reality, the new player is almost identical to the Apple TV in its ability to stream music, movies and other content from a PC to the TV. The one significant difference is that the new player will allow for HD-quality content to ... [ read the full article ]

Very interesting, let's just hope that the final product's price tag is about or less than that of the Apple TV.

I've been using a Buffalo LinkTheater to do this for about 3 years now and it works great. Not a mass-consumer J6P device really, but I can stream HD files all day long and use it constantly.

I've always like D-link from the get go. I think their devices are very good.

Dlink software always freezes my computer so I always have to use third party drivers instead of Dlinks. I am a X consumer of Dlink products for this reason.

Sounds promising. If the price and quality is there, this might just do better than the Apple offering.

I've been part of this DivX beta, and I also own an AppleTV and an XBOX running XBMC. The main difference is that the DivX box is really light... it doesn't have a hard drive, yet it has HDMI, component, wifi, and Ethernet. The firmware decodes the audio/video that is sent over by your server, which renders the UI and manages the media library (movies, photos, music). Also, you can select stage6 and watch (HD) web content right on your TV. The final cool thing is how open the server is... people have already developed their own skins and plugins that are RSS-based, feeding weather, media-channels, and even Flickr to the TV. I can't wait to see the production version of this system, since the beta was so fully featured.

I have 1 as well. Stock firmware is shit but one of the European one (forgot the number) isnt all that bad great for TV shows but not very consumer friendly. Which the wireless was better but I have everything running though a Lan now due to my small apt. That with the HD-A1 has me covered for all needs... except for maybe x264 in which I use my computer connected to a 32 LCD and audio via tosh-link. Plus its a pretty good upscaler to boot.

If i had a choice between apple or divx i would choose divx because it has shown to be consistent in the past.
