Review The EN306TV-S Media Player
December 2nd, 2007The EN306TV-S represents another category of media player designed for the slightly more tech savvy user. The user has to install their own harddrive. It’s also meant for the more budget conscious user, as you’ll typically find it priced below $60.
You’d think that with its variety of plugs in the back for S-Video, component, Y/Pb/Pr and an adapter for VGA, ability to playback multiple formats and subtitles, that it represented a pretty good value. Unfortunately, the saying that you get what you pay for rings ever so true in this case. Put bluntly, what you’re getting is an overpriced external harddrive enclosure.
