Galaxy METAL GEAR 3500IPTV-DMG Digital Media Gateway

Played right out of the box. I did have to adjust the TV mode the first time, but as soon as I did that it was ready to play my media ; It is a very cheap solution for 5.1 sound playback of digital content ; Video content is gorgeous on the supplied...

It has overheated in my media center several times, which locks playback, after 8+ hours of viewing. As long as it has good airflow this should not happen though ; The bundled software is really a resource hog and should only be used if you have no...

I can get it to do what I want, that's the only reason it is not a two star

It's the getting to that point that was frustrating. The interface is pretty horrible, navigation is overly difficult to figure out. Typing in a WEP key with the remote took forever! The lag made me miss the right character over and over, and an...

Compact design fits easily into an already overcrowded media center. This thing likes what ever you send to it. I have Divx, Xvid, and WMV's on file and it plays them all. It does not do IOS (image files) but that's ok, at 5 gig each, I'm not sure I...

Wireless video streaming is pretty much a joke. The users manual even recommends not doing it. I've already RMA'ed the optional wireless card. The remote control also has a steep learning curve. Button are mutlifunctional, and depending on what mode...

I bought this player to stream video to my TV. It plays MPEGs, AVIs (DivX, XviD), no problem. Seems to work beautifully with either a wired or wireless connection ; It also plays music, and can display pictures with zoom-in/out capabilities

Seems to have problems with some of the later WMV formats ; Maximum wireless security seems to be 128-bit WEP. Would certainly be nice to be able to use a more secure protocol ; The image viewer controls are a little cumbersome ... but that's not the...

The Galaxy Metal Gear IPTV-DMG is a great product and has really performed way beyond my expectations. It streams Xvid video flawlessly and without a stutter. The 1080i resolution is really nice. Setup was pretty simple, just press the TV mode button...

I don't really have any cons, maybe just some suggestions for the next revision. It would be nice if the unit supported .iso dvd images like Galaxies media enclosure ; The USB ports are not really usable for me since the only format that is supported...

A/V Sync issues not a factor. I've had some Avi files (divx and xvid) that would loose sync while playing, even in a software decoder. This product dosn't have that issue, which was a major buying point for me. I did research to try and find if this...

none really. price i suppose. the interface is a little clunky, but not to the point it's unuseable
