We're big fans of the original Digital Entertainer HD (the EVA 8000) which has allowed us to stream our video files, pictures, movies, and music straight to our home entertainment system.  However, as digital media has evolved - so has media streaming technology, and NETGEAR has harnessed the best there is into the next member of the Digital Entertainer family.

The Digital Entertainer Elite (EVA 9150,) announced at the International CES 2009 in Las Vegas, represents media streaming's finest hour.  It improves on the original Digital Entertainer HD in almost every way - sporting a faster Sigma chipset, YouTube HD support, and full 1080p resolution output.  In addition, this powerhouse supports the Wireless-N draft standard, allowing you to get the ultimate in no-wires-atatched speed - as well as a built-in hard drive to make storing your media files easy as pie.  See more specifications and details.

The MyDigitalEntertainer staff was delighted to get a first-hand demonstration of the Digital Entertainer Elite in NETGEAR's private booth.  Click on the image to see what's in store for the future of media streaming.

The Digital Entertainer Elite will retail for an estimate $400 USD and should be available 1Q 2009.
