D-Link DSM-320 and DSM-520 review

DSM-520.jpg

A new and safe alternative to the more traditional ointment (such as salicylic acid) which is very irritating to the skin, and can be hard to use for those with sensitive skin. Neurontin finasterid 1mg kaufen Soba gelirler neura-neural gel, neurontin gel. In order to provide an overview of the psychopharmacology of the non-antipsychotic tricyclic antidepressants, the authors searched the pubmed database, along with the cochrane controlled trials register and the international standard randomised controlled trial number (isrctn) registry for randomised controlled clinical trials (rcts) of all published or unpublished clinical trials examining this group of antidepressants.

In addition, metformin induces insulin resistance, which contributes to weight gain. This Yorkville acquisto viagra in italia drug is also intended for women who are affected by excessive menstrual cycle. I think i was infected by covid-19 a year and a half ago in china.

A friend of mine lent me the DSM-320 (it’s coming back soon, Patrick) and I evaluated it to decide to buy the ($229) DSM-520. Both boxes are UPnP AV streaming devices that let you stream audio, video, etc. from a PC.

Here’s the differences (all in favor of the DSM-520):

  • Supports WPA encryption on wireless
  • Supports high definition component and HDMI outputs
  • Has plug-in on front for USB drive

First impressions:

  • The box is quick and easy to setup, and found Windows Media Connect, NeroHome and D-Link Media Server without problems.
  • Firmware on both is clunky, and has even crashed a few times on the DSM-520 requiring a reboot
  • D-Link Media Server software is poorly implemented, alternatives including the live video transcoding capable NeroHome (my favourite)
  • Few video formats can be read “out-of-the-box”
  • The current firmware strangely can only be set to FF/Rewind OR jump to location. This is most annoying.

After a few months:

Overall, I still really like the DSM-520, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a high-definition streaming video player for a big-screen TV. It’s relatively inexpensive, and works quite well.

  • You can rip a DVD (I use DVDdecrypter) and play it back later. This is great, but several DVDs change audio language abruptly in mid-movie, requiring the rest of the movie be watched on a computer.
  • NeroHome is my preferred media server, supporting many more video formats for live transcoding than the D-Link Media Server
  • Only D-Link Media Server and NeroHome support fast-forward and rewind (Windows Media Connect 2.0 chokes)
  • I intend to buy an Infrant ReadyNAS NV, which will allow me to stream directly off that, without ever having to keep or turn on a computer in the house (supports UPnP AV).
  • I really wish they’d improve FF/Rev, including both jump, and some kind of “jump forward or backwards a few seconds”
  • I would love to see some kind of webbrowser built-in.
  • Pictures are still broken (either stretched to the wrong aspect ratio, or too small). This needs a bug fix desperately from D-Link
