Jeremy Reviews the NETGEAR EVA8000

Posted on 16 March 2007 by


Jeremy Toeman of Live Digitally recently spent time as Netgear’s guest blogger at CES. While there, he had access to their new EVA8000 Digital Entertainer HD. Like any geek in his shoes would, he pestered the heck out of his hosts until they gave him a review unit. He says, “With my current role as the company’s current guest blogger, I got exactly that – early access to play with the EVA8000 (which formally launched earlier this week).”

So by now you are wondering what in the heck the EVA8000 is, right? Well hold on, I’m trying to tell you! ;-)

Living Digitally reviews the NETGEAR EVA8000

Jeremy says, “here’s a quick summary of the main EVA8000 features:

  • Connects to your TV and your home network
  • Streams music, photos, and videos from connected PCs as well as from the Internet
  • Support for numerous video formats, and stream quality is up to 1080p HDTV resolution
  • Works with YouTube, Flickr, and BitTorrent content, and can display RSS feeds
  • Networked DVR (”TiVo-like”) features to stream live TV from PCs with TV tuner cards
  • Makes a mean bowl of tomato soup”

You got that? Want to learn more? Then check out Jeremy’s review! Fittingly, he has included plenty of videos. :-)

I started Gear Diary on September 30, 2006, and my goal was that this not be an easily labeled site. We all have gear that we use daily – some of it electronic and some of it organic. I think it is fascinating to explore the equipment that makes our lives easier, more entertaining, more productive, and more manageable. My hope is that Gear Diary visitors will find this site to be a comfortable and friendly place to discuss interesting topics – and not only those that are tech related, as well as a location to discover various types of gear – whatever that term may end up implying – that they never knew existed. My specialty is in-depth reviews written in a layman’s terms, because everyone can understand technology, sometimes it just takes a little translating. +Judie Stanford
