For the price it's remarkably good - it played back every video and audio format we threw at it.
This is a tool for pirates if I've ever seen one. Iomega's new ScreenPlay TV Link is a cigarette box-sized device that lets you play downloaded movies, TV shows and music from an external storage device on your TV.Simply plug in a USB flash drive or a Fat32- or NTFS-formatted USB hard drive into the TV Link, then connect the device to your TV using HDMI, composite or component cables, and sit back with the device's remote control and watch whatever media content you've downloaded.
The TV Link is a poor man's Apple TV - the Apple product has a built-in hard drive and uses Wi-Fi to sync with an iTunes media library so you can play back material on your TV. The idea with the Apple TV is that you'll buy content in Apple's iTunes Store. It's hard to see how the TV Link will be used for anything other than watching pirated content downloaded using services such as BitTorrent.The Iomega upscales standard-definition, 480i/480p content to 720p and 1080i hi-def but does not natively support hi-def video. For that, get the Apple TV. But for the price it's remarkably good - it played back every video and audio format we threw at it.
