ShowCenter 200 - PC Utilities, July issue - 79%
"ShowCenter200 offers a relatively inexpensive means of turning your PC into a media centre, and is supplied with everything you need, including a SCART lead and Ethernet cable. The newly incorporated support for wireless networks and High Definition output are welcome improvements and help to increase the product's appeal".

"The ShowCenter 200 is certainly one of the best products of its type.
Unlike some competing products, the ShowCenter 200 includes really intuitive and family friendly media management software. The installation wizard has been improved so it's now easier to install the ShowCenter 200 on a network, and it's still the only product within its category to offer 'watched folders' .
The ShowCenter 200 delivers excellent audio and video quality and an intuitive user interface".
