We've had a look at a number of media streamers recently, most notably and the. While each has had its own pros and cons, we've yet to see a product that does everything we'd like to see from a media streamer. For a start, no one product has support for all the codecs commonly found online, which means you'll be limited to a specific type of material. Freecom is a company mostly known for its external hard drives, so it isn't really a surprise that its media streamer, the 350 WLAN, also contains a 500GB hard drive.

It's available now for around £185 online. If you're more interested in the streaming than the storage, you can get cheaper 250GB and 400GB variants, for around £120-£150. There's also a drive-free version that streams from your existing hard disk.

This is done with a unique identifier code that's printed on the bottom of the unit and the whole process is simple and worked without a hitch.

Of course, if you don't want to use it over the network, you can simply copy files onto the drive over USB 2.0, which reduces the hassle to virtually none and increases the speed you can transfer files. In this mode, however, you can't use the Freecom to watch video. When the NDAS driver is installed, although you're accessing the drive over the LAN, it shows up as a standard drive letter, named 'local disc', so the network aspect is totally transparent.

It's then easy to copy over your files to the hard drive, or you can stream media from any connected PC. Codec support seems decent, we had the 350 WLAN happily playing DivX, XviD, WMV and even HD WMV, at 720p. We didn't have any joy getting it to play Quicktime files however, which may or may not be an issue, depending on what you want to watch. Picture quality obviously depends heavily on the input file.

We tried a variety of material, from samples we downloaded from the Internet, to some DVD-originated material which we had for testing surround-sound systems. Everything looked as it should, but high-definition material in the WMV format looked amazing -- this is obviously a capable unit, despite being limited by its codec support. There are plenty of outputs for getting sound and video out of this machine. There's DVI, component and composite video out. It also boasts both coaxial and optical digital audio outputs, which are great for hooking the machine up to your AV system.
