Your Vote for the Best Streaming Product of the Year
Well the end of the year is upon us and we want to take a look back and ask our readers what they feel were some of the best streaming products of the year. We have covered a lot of different types of devices this year, some old and some new and we want to know what you think are the best. Since this is our first year on the web we won't limit you to products that were released just this year for voting. Feel free to vote for products that have been out for awhile, just state your case why you think they are the best. We have our opinions on what ranks where, but we want to hear what you have to say.
So come on and add a comment and tell the world about media streaming devices that have blown you away. We bet there are a bunch out there that we haven't even heard of yet.

OK, I'll kick off the comments. We have a ton of devices around the house and the two that I use more than any other are the Squeezebox(http://www.networkingaudiovideo.com/archives/2007/03/squeezebox_3_first_impressions_1.php) and the Mvix 760HD(http://www.networkingaudiovideo.com/archives/2007/05/mvixusa_760hd_hands_on_review.php)
Between the two of those we cover just about all our bases. While the 760HD isn't the most polished device we have played with it gets the job done and lets us stream our movies from our server. Having your entire movie collection at your finger tips is a very nice thing.
Almost as nice as having your entire music collection at your finger tips like with the Squeezebox. No single device has become part of our daily routine like the Squeezebox. So simple to use it has become part of the house. Turn it on, select one of our CDs and enjoy. Gone are the days of having to hunt through your collection for the CD you want hoping that it isn't scratched. Now you just digitally flip through them and fire it up.
Those are our top two.
i've got the xbox 360 at home, and my vote is for that. Ever since they updated their software to allow divx files to play/stream - it has been getting alot of use at our house. I also use a DSM-320, which has been great - but is getting less use now due to the xbox being so good.
The 360 has really come on strong as of late to become a very full featured media streamer. We have some friends that weren't into streaming media unitl they found out how easy it was to do with the 360. Now they watch a ton of movies on their HDTV streamed via the 360.
As for the DSM-320, we have one in the office and we have been fairly underwhelmed with it. Not that it is bad per se, but it just doesn't stand out in any one area. We have been meaning to do our in depth hands on review with it, but we just keep putting it off.
