A few months back, Anandtech carried the review of the Patriot Box Office media streamer. Pursuant to a very good reception from readers, we have decided to start a dedicated home theater section where we will be covering products in this space. Of primary interest will be media streaming boxes, but we will also cover other DLNA enabled products, media extenders, PVRs and DVRs.




We will formally inaugurate this section with a roundup of the various platforms in the media streamer space. Towards the end, our methodology to evaluate the various media streamers will also be presented. Readers are welcome to give feedback and let us know areas they would like reviews to concentrate more on. Read on to find more about the history of media streamers, the current state of the market and where we think it is headed.
