Despite its name, the Freecom MediaPlayer II is more than just media streamer - its a Nas box too. So, not only can you use it to play video files in your lounge, but its easy to get content on to it as well. Just hook it up to your network, and drag...
Bottom line While the MediaPlayer II tries to be both a network drive and media streamer, its not particularly adept at either. Its USB performance is adequate, but its network transfer speed it poor. As a media streamer, the interface is slow and frustrating an...

Freecom would have you believe that getting your video and photos on to your main TV or your hi-fi is as simple as plugging it in to the mains and switching it on. The paucity of setup information provided with the package certainly suggests as much, but if you want to use the Freecom MediaPlayer II wirelessly, you need an accompanying USB wireless network adaptor. Youll also have to persuade the Freecom MediaPlayer II to find your wireless network - something this drive had more trouble with...
