Netgear NeoTV 550 and 350 HD media players announced

Netgear has announced a couple more HD media players in the form of the NeoTV 550 and 350, where both of them bear the family resemblance of the Digital Entertainer Elite which was released last year sans a 500GB of internal hard drive as well as access to VOD services including CinemaNow. You won’t find either device short in terms of codec support though, boasting full HD capability from a range of attached sources like USB, eSATA (for the 550) or SD storage. Not only that, it is capable of streaming content from UPnP, DLNA or WMP11 networks. The 550 will throw in support for external Blu-ray drives and BD-Live, retailing for $219 which makes it pretty affordable for just about anyone who has an unused standalone drive that is raring to see some action.
