Buffalo brings LinkTheater HD media streamer to these shores

Buffalo let loose a pair of LinkTheater HD media streamers in Japan late last year, and it looks like it's now finally decided to bring a little of that HD-streaming 'round here. Unfortunately, for some reason, it's only decided to bring over the wired-onlyLT-H90LAN model, and not the WiFi-packin' LT-H90WN model that our Japanese friends get to enjoy. If that's not too much of a trade-off for you, however, you can expect the same 720p and 1080i output as before, along with support for streaming of a wide variety of content from both Macs and PCs, as well as USB hard drives and DLNA-compliant media servers. You'll also get HDMI output, with some component video and optical audio connections thrown in for good measure -- and, of course, that 10/100 LAN port. Look for this one to start hitting all the usual sources this month for $199.

Buffalo intros pair of LinkTheater HD media streamers


No interest in a shiny new NAS from Buffalo? No worries, as the firm is hoping to play on your AV emotions too with a new duo of HD media streamers. Part of the tight-knit LinkTheater family, the LT-H90LAN and LT-H90WN each feature USB 2.0 connectivity, an Ethernet jack, analog / digital audio outputs and HDMI / composite connectors. Furthermore, the pair plays nice with a slew of files including AAC, MPEG2/3, WMA, JPEG, BMP, PNG, GIF, VOB, WMV, ASF, AVI and H.264, but unfortunately, DivX / XviD weren't invited to the party. Nevertheless, those who still think this would fit the bill can snap up the wired-only LT-H90LAN for ¥21,000 ($184) or the 802.11a/b/g/n-enabled LT-H90WN for ¥31,700 ($277) later this month.
