It arrived, and wasn't connecting with my computer. No sign of it anywhere. After, contacting service tech. He walked us threw some checking, and we worked out a replacement. The replacement came, hooked it up, and It popped right up on my monitor screen. After loading some media, it played beautifully on my 52" tv. thanks.
Great Bang for the Buck

I've been using this unit for about 1 month now and think it's great! Some things I found:
- I rip my DVD's directly into folders on this little device and when I browse to the folders the DVD's play just like the real thing
- Plays MP3's, AVI's (XVid, Divx), and JPEGs
- The JPEG slideshow feature is a bit useless if you have tons of family pictures like we do
- Playlist manager utility that comes with it can cut down on the file folder clutter and help you get to the files you want faster
- The file folder based navigation system is a bit clunky but I don't really care that it takes me a minute to get to the movie I want
- The remote is kind of cheap but simple and functional
- Not sure why they have a bright blue LED light on the front. A piece of electrical tape fixed that up nicely
- Really find it awesome that I can have my ENTIRE movie collection in one little portable device that I can take with me and plug into any t.v./stereo

I bought this to replace a CD Changer. I asked an Iomega rep in a live chat if it would do a random play of songs. A feature of our CD changer we really liked. I was told it would but if it does I've not figured out how yet. The remote does leave a lot to be desired. You have to have it pointed in a straight line of sight at the device or it does not work.That said I think it is a great deal for the money.

I am not as negative about this unit as the last reviewer. I live overseas and use this machine every day to watch tv and movies. I have no issues with video quality. I find it clear and although it has had some issues with sound at times mostly it is a clear as a bell.
My issues are... The remote... awful... I sometimes have to get up and press the play button. It works in a sporadic fashion. Noise... this thing couldn't be much louder. You don't notice it when a video is playing but you will not forget it on. Menu system is folder based but if you have a lot of files it can take a long time to get to the bottom.
Knock wood I have had no problems with this unit. It has saved me countless DVDs and plays almost every format I have downloaded. For a $159 - 500GB multimedia HD you aren't going to do much better.
