Hello,

Any of you guys have experience with Kiss Technology devices?

I might be tempted to purchase this device:

(DP-600, or maybe the model with harddisk, the DP-608)

But what are the experiences with Kiss in general?

Other comments?

Dodgy firmwares, tendency to freeze while streaming from network or if a strange codec combo is encountered, ethernet reverting to 10Mbps in certain situtations (forgot which ones are those, eh) etc...
Not so great IMHO.
They probably fixed a lot of bugs until now. I played with it about a year and a half ago, and liked it despite the flaws.

They were bought out by Cisco about 6 months ago. Don't know if that is good or bad, though...

Thanks for the comments...
Which device device was it? Was the firmware already open source?

(I would assume that Kiss becoming part of Linksys/Cisco would be a good thing)

Rats, I just found out it cannot act as a network bridge...
