My "new toys" (the Netgem iPlayer and its associated network adapter) have arrived and I've spent an enjoyable hour or so getting everything set up properly.
I'm very impressed!
The box works very nicely as a Freeview digital TV adapter, but its other role as a TV web browsing terminal and multimedia server is where the device really shines. From my experiences so far, it's able to display most webpages properly on a TV screen - you really can surf the web from the comfort of your own lounge without any need for a PC cluttering up the room.
With its ability to output digital audio and video files from the PCs on my home network, I'm now the owner of a very affordable and capable home media-server - this concept really could be "The Next Big Thing"...
