Netgear upcoming Home Theater PC box – the official presentation is only the beginning of January at CES in Las Vegas made – could be a real killer, the competition significantly in their notes. The flat box with the name Elite EVA9000 Digital Entertainment currently still waiting on the FCC released and supports a really huge range of file formats, both audio Just as an example of the video formats (the list is much longer): AVI, DivX, Xvid, MOV, M4V, MP4, VOB, TS, and M2TS IFO, and even audio files, the list is long (MP1, MP2, MP3, WMA, AAC, FLAC, LPCM, Dolby +, Dolby True HD, DTS-HD Master Audio, 3.1 Dolby AC3, AC3 Dolby 5.1, DTS 5.1), but somehow still seems Net gear what to have forgotten: OGG Vorbis is not among them, but this is no exotic format soon mad.

With the EVA9000 box can be of Macs, PCs or Linux computers stream or just a hard drive (three inches) a purely locally and push play. Ethernet port is there, you should not use the can, there’s Wireless-N – I think the screenshots below in the gallery give the best information on all connectivity options. Above all, but the box is really fast: 40Mbps bit-rate support for 1080p HD video playback – it must first make one after. Of course nothing yet on price or availability, but after CES, we know more determined.
