With a host of important features, the Actiontec Wireless Digital Media Player offers just about everything you could want in a networked media player; support for video, audio, images and Web browsing. Unfortunately it falls short in two of the four categories. While batting .500 would be history-making in baseball, when it comes to consumer electronics, having only half of your features work as intended just doesn't make the cut.
Actiontec's Wireless Digital Media Player handles the playback of images and video quite well, but it falls short in its Web browsing capabilities and the feature that most people are going to want the device for – playing music.
Actiontec has a solid start with the Wireless Digital Media Player and there are certain things it does quite well. If you are looking for a device that can play your digital photos on your TV or home-theater monitor, this would be a good choice, that also offers good movie playback and limited audio functions. If you're looking for a networked media player to play a large digital audio collection, this may not be the best choice. With some important improvements, this product just might be something worthy of most home-entertainment systems. But until then, it is simply a mediocre device in an increasingly competitive market.
Actiontec is a Silicon Valley-based provider of broadband communication and networking products. While their product lineup centers mostly on network access devices such as modems, routers and network adapters, they also offer a few Bluetooth products and the subject of this review, a Wireless Digital Media Player.
We've written before that networked media devices – home-theater components designed to play your digital audio, video and images through your TV and/or stereo – are going to be a big focus for a number of companies. While the "big guys" – companies like Yamaha, Linksys, and Sony are pumping out their designs, it really is the smaller manufacturers that are making the most innovations. Companies like SlimDevices, Roku and Prismiq are giving the big players some good competition, and great ideas.
Actiontec's approach to the networked media device is a low-profile device that can play back images, movies, audio, and even browse the Web from the comfort of your living room all for under $200. With both analog and digital connections to your stereo and television, including support for HDTV, and a wide range of supported formats, the Digital Wireless Media Player may appeal to techies and the non-technical alike.
Actiontec's Wireless Digital Media Player is fairly featureless, except for the protruding WiFi card.
Features and Design
The Actiontec Wireless Digital Media Player is – as far as home theater components go – a relatively small device with a brushed-aluminum and black plastic casing. It measures about 10-inches wide by 6 ½-inches deep and 1 ½ inches high. The top, front and sides are relatively featureless, aside from the Actiontec logo on top, a black smoked-plexiglass bar across the front and a PCMCIA card slot on the left side.
Behind the smoked-plexi front are three status lights: 'Power', '10/100′ and 'Link/Act'. These indicators are green LEDs behind an etching of the word in the plexi. While it looks good, the lights really don't offer much information and aren't bright enough to be seen from a distance.
Actiontec provides plenty of analog and digital connections on the back to make all levels of home-theater enthusiasts happy. For video the unit features the following outputs: Digital Video Interface (DVI), Composite Video, S-Video, and Component Video. On the audio side, the Actiontec sports a left and right analog RCA output as well as an optical S/PDIF and an RCA S/PDIF interface.
For network connectivity the Actiontec features a 10/100 Ethernet port on the back and the PCMCIA slot on left side where the 802.11b wireless card goes. The Wireless Digital Media Player comes with an Actiontec branded 802.11b card so you have the option of using either type of connection. Going wireless introduces a serous aesthetic problem – the wireless card sticks out so far from the side of the unit that it looks like it isn't plugged in all the way. This really takes away from the looks of the device and creates an unwanted focus point. Surely someone at Actiontec must have the same thoughts as us and we hope they will address this issue in future revisions.
Also included with the Wireless Digital Media Player is an infrared remote control. Every function of the player can be controlled by the remote. This includes Web browsing and other functions that require the entry of letters.
Installation and Setup
Installation of the device is fairly straightforward and simplistic. Just hook up the desired audio and video connection, plug in the wireless card or Ethernet cable, install the "Actiontec Media Buddy" software on a Windows computer and power the media player on. Once powered up, you have to locate the media server on your network. This may take a little time and if you are not running a DHCP server, you'll have to enter the IP address and network information manually using the remote control. This is a tedious process, but thankfully only has to be done once. We had no problems hooking the media player up on wired or wireless networks, besides the time it took to manually enter the network information. It supports WEP encryption but, like we've seen in other wireless media players, not WPA. If you run a network with WPA encryption, you'll either have to change that, or look for a device that supports it.
The remote features a "Mode" button that allows you to cycle through the available display options. If you power the device up and can't view any output, this is easily fixed by hitting the "Mode" button until your current output device is selected. The Actiontec Media Player supports the following resolutions:
Composite/S-Video NTSC
Component NTSC
Composite/S-Video PAL
Component PAL
HDTV Component 480P
HDTV Component 720P
HDTV Component 1080i
DVI 1080i
DVI 852×480 (Plasma)
The Media Buddy software works on any Windows operating system (98 and up) and the company lists minimum hardware requirements as a 700MHz Pentium III or higher if you want to use the device for streaming video. We installed our test server on an Abit AT7-Max2 motherboard with an Athlon XP 1600+ and 512MB of PC 2700 DDR. This system was more than adequate.
The rear of the device features both analog and digital connections – including a HDTV compatible DVI port.
Although setup is easy, it can take quite a bit of time. If you have a large number of media files – and if you're thinking of buying the Actiontec you probably do – it will take the program a while to scan all of your media. Once you install the software you then tell it what folders to scan for pictures, video and music. Admittedly, we had a very large collection of music to scan – just over 5,000 audio, video and image files – but it took over 6 ½ minutes.
One reason why the setup and media scan takes so long is that the program creates a thumbnail image for each picture in your collection.
Audio Playback
Actiontec's Wireless Digital Media Player supports a wide range of audio formats such as MP3, AC3, AAC, WAV, WMA and Ogg Vorbis. We tested it with all supported formats and found performance to be similar with each.
Audio sounded excellent when played through the optical connection, and as expected when played via the analog RCA jacks. With digital audio, the playback is only as good as your encoded files, and most of our files are encoded with the LAME encoder at variable bit rate, so they sound CD-quality, or close enough for most people to not notice a difference.
The player allows you to listen to audio one track at a time, in order by folder, or randomly by folder. Unfortunately, it lacks a number of features that are common in other digital media players. The Actiontec Wireless Digital Media Player can not read playlists. It will read a playlist and report that it is an "Empty File." The player also only plays music in the current folder. So if you have separate folders for each artist or album, you can't randomly play between them. You either have to have all of your music in one huge folder, or play only each album at a time. We think this will be a big issue for many users – and potentially lead to them not considering the Actiontec for purchase. It also doesn't allow you to select one song from a folder, play it and then skip to the next track. If you select one song in a folder, you're stuck playing that one song unless you go back and select the entire folder. Another annoyance we found was the inability to play a song and then cue up another song to play next. If you are listening to a track, the only way to go back to view your music list is to stop the song and go back to the main music menu. And finally, the time it takes to switch between songs when you manually progress through the tracks is a long five or more seconds. Those used to instant gratification from their CD player or PC-based audio player will find the wait too long.
The Media Player's menu allows you to select all of your media files with the remote control.
Video Playback
The Wireless Media Player supports video encoded in MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, DIVX, Xvid and RPM4. We were able to successfully play back MPEG2 files recorded from cable TV through a Hauppauge WinTV 250 capture card. However, our MPEG2 files encoded in "better" quality were choppy and unwatchable when played over the wireless network. On the wired network they played perfectly smooth.
Xvid and DIVX files did not suffer any choppiness when played via the WiFi network. Some of our DIVX movies did not play at first and the player would return a message saying "Unknown Video Codec" when we tried to play them. The Media Buddy application on our media server marked those same file names in red, signifying that something was wrong with them. However, the software includes a button to re-encode DIVX files to OpenDiv3 and this enabled us to play all of our DIVX files. The conversion was quick, taking just about a minute for a 750MB video file.
Fast-forwarding and rewinding video files worked fairly well, but the player would get hung up every once in a while, especially on the MPEG2 files, and either stop the file or restart it from the beginning.
The remote control features a button called "zoom" which allows you to view movies (and pictures) in three different settings: Full Screen, Fit To Screen, and Actual Size.
High quality movies looked great on an HDTV monitor. We tested using a Samsung 43-inch HDTV and a Gateway 42-inch EDTV plasma monitor and pictures and video looked crisp and clear.
Viewing Images
Displaying images is the Actiontec Wireless Digital Media Player's strongest feature. Images are sorted in folders much like the music is and playback suffers from the same folder restrictions, but with images, this is much more acceptable than with music. Curiously, the issue we had with selecting one audio file from a folder and then only being able to play that one file is not an issue with images. If you select one image from a folder, you can then go forward or backwards through the folder to view the other images.
The system allows you to assign music from your music list to play in the background while viewing images if you chose. Images can be played in alphabetic order or randomly. You can also play images one at a time, progressing with the forward and backward buttons on the remote, or as a slideshow. You can set the slideshow to wait between one and 60 seconds between each image.
Browsing The Web
It's a great idea, but browsing the Web via your Actiontec Wireless Media Player just isn't user-friendly at all. With no mouse or no keyboard, you are stuck with the four-direction arrow keys for browsing. This means you can only select links by highlighting the word and clicking the Enter button on the remote. Web browsing is also done in a very low resolution, so unless you view sites for mobile devices only, you'll be missing out on a large portion of the Website.
Actiontec includes a small selection of Internet radio stations and these work well. You can also play any other radio station not listed in the presets with ease. We had no problem playing any of Winamp.com's net radio listings – except for having to navigate through the page with the Actiontec remote.
The Web browser relies on the bookmarks on the server computer, so if you find a number of mobile-ready Websites and add them to the favorites list, it will greatly improve Web browsing. Unfortunately, it still is very slow and tedious. The player also includes a listing of nine news sites, but sadly, you can only read the lead sentence of each article, making it rather useless.
A Few Bugs and Quirks to Work Out
Actiontec will need to work out a number of issues to make the Wireless Digital Media Player as useful as they say it is. The speed, navigation, and ease-of-use of audio playback really needs to be addressed. As audio capabilities will probably be the most important feature for prospective buyers, this is the first thing Actiontec should focus on. They also need to totally revamp the Web browsing utility, as it is nearly useless in its current form.
There are also some display issues and performance issues that should be addressed. The remote suffers from a latency issue, which can make navigating through media files a hassle at times. Navigation with the remote could also be improved as the menus can take some getting used to and don't seem as intuitive as they should be. The device would also benefit if the display of media file names were shifted to the left, since many music and movie titles are cut off now, and there is wasted empty space to the left.
We'd like to see an LCD display on future revisions too. Having to turn on your TV just to listen to music is one of the drawbacks of many of today's networked media players, and we think an LCD or VFD, like the Slim Devices products, go a long way in making the devices more useful. The device could also use a relocation of the PCMCIA card slot, as the wireless card takes away from the product's aesthetic appeal by sticking out so far.
Actiontec's support for the product really needs to be improved also. We called them with a few questions and there was no option on their support menu for the Wireless Digital Media Player. After selecting the wrong menus and hanging up to redial numerous times, we finally found a way to talk to a service rep, who didn't have many answers for us. Actiontec's online support is just as lacking, as there is no Web support section for the player, while there is one for each of their other products. At least it would be nice for them to post an FAQ on the Website, as there certainly must be some frequently asked questions.
Finally, Actiontec needs to get their facts straight between their Website and product literature. There are many inconsistencies that can lead to confusion. For instance, the box states that the player is compatible with "All Major Operating Systems including Windows 98, 98SE, Me, 2000, NT/4.0, XP, Mac OS X (10) or higher, Linux/BSD, Unix." We could not verify this as the Website only lists the Windows operating systems and the included CD is only for Windows operating systems. The box also states that the product supports DIVX files but the Website makes no mention of it.
With a host of important features, the Actiontec Wireless Digital Media Player offers just about everything you could want in a networked media player; support for video, audio, images and Web browsing. Unfortunately it falls short in two of the four categories. While batting .500 would be history-making in baseball, when it comes to consumer electronics, having only half of your features work as intended just doesn't make the cut.

Is nuclear consultation just a box ticking exercise?
NuGen are entering into a ten-week consultation with people in West Cumbria, about the prospect of building Europe's largest new nuclear plant in the region.
Samantha Parker asked Sandy Rupprecht, the company's CEO, whether voices from the community will have any real impact on the decision:
Green Party 'will call for plans to be scrapped'
Jill Perry, of the Green Party, says she'll be calling for plans for a new £10 billion nuclear power station in West Cumbria to be scrapped.
She says nuclear energy "makes no sense in the modern day", and that there are cheaper alternatives:
Nuclear power development: what do people think?
We've been asking people in Whitehaven what they think about the prospect of a nuclear power site - the largest new plant in Europe - being built at Moorside:
The response was largely positive, with people citing the potential benefits to the west Cumbrian economy.
However, there is also a large amount of opposition to the plans, and a petition called 'Stop Moorside: Biggest Nuclear Development in Europe' has more than 7,000 signatures.
Thousands sign 'Stop Moorside' petition
Thousands of people have signed a petition against the proposed nuclear power plant development at Moorside, in West Cumbria.
The petition is called: 'Stop Moorside: Biggest Nuclear Development in Europe', and it currently has more than 7,000 signatures.
It reads:
We urge David Cameron and the leaders of Europe to scrap plans for Moorside.
The UK Government is planning to sell a vast area of Cumbria to the same companies responsible for the Fukushima disaster, so that they can build new nuclear reactors.
Please don't risk the safety of Europe by turning Cumbria into a nuclear sacrifice zone."
Proposed power plant: the Moorside site
The consultation into whether to build a new £10 billion nuclear power plant in West Cumbria gets underway this weekend.
NuGen, who will develop the project, have carried out surveys at the site in Mooreside, close to the existing Sellafield nuclear power site.
They have released footage of the site survey taking place.

Plans for new nuclear power plant in Cumbria
A ten week consultation begins this weekend on plans for a £10bn nuclear power plant near Sellafield.Read the full story ›
Sellafield announce £50m contract
Sellafield Ltd has announced that it has awarded a new contract, which could rise in value to £50m, to Metalcraft.
The company will produce high-integrity stainless steel storage containers for nuclear waste.
These will be used for the storage of Sellafield's historic nuclear waste.
Sellafield says Metalcraft has committed to a new facility in West Cumbria, and will generate new jobs, apprenticeships and training development.
This announcement demonstrates our total commitment to ensuring value for money for the UK taxpayer and securing a package of benefits to the communities in which we operate, from the annual £1.95bn annual expenditure on Sellafield.
We recognise that how we work with our supply chain can and should play a fundamental part in supporting socio-economic growth and ensuring that we remain the backbone of the community.
Our investment in education, skills and infrastructure must be felt in West Cumbria and the wider UK economy."

New nuclear plan launched after Cumbria rejects bid
The Government has launched a new long term plan to deal with the UK's radioactive waste, after plans to put it in Cumbria were rejected a year ago.
Cumbria County Council turned down plans to build a 12 billion pounds underground nuclear waste store in our region last year.
Under today's new strategy, the Government will survey the whole country to find out where would be most suitable to store the waste.
The survey will take two years to complete.

How can Student Support help me?
One area that is often troublesome is that of finance, and talking to the student support officers or staff on hand can be a great way of getting advice on what to do about late grants or how to choose the best bank account, everything in fact from getting part time jobs to money management and other areas of finance.
Also important is student accommodation, and again student support organisations will be able to help sort out any problems or concerns that you and your family may have with regard to finding suitable and sensible accommodation for the time to come.
Indeed, student support is a vital part of the network, and with a great number of universities and colleges across the country housing some hundreds of thousands of students there is often great demand for student support services.
If you feel that you need to engage student support in any way, shape or form you need to speak to your student union representative, for the union will be directly allied to the student support services that are available.
Each university will have its own student support network, and many of them are manned by mature or long term students who understand exactly the problems involved in leaving home and entering what is an entirely new and sometimes quite frightening environment that may well be completely alien to the individual concerned.
Indeed, so varied are the services offered by student support that they are very much an integral part of college life, and should not be overlooked in times of need.
It is an exciting time for a teenager to move away from home, a formative point in life at which much is learned and many things are to be considered, and yet with so much to take into account and so many different and new aspects of the world to count on and come to terms with student support is absolutely essential to each and every one.
Whether your requirement is for help with being homesick, managing your finances or finding accommodation it is worth getting to know your student support officers, for you never know when you may just need that someone to talk to.

Potawatomi up the ante in the Kenosha casino dispute
You've got to hand it to the Forest County Potawatomi. They know how to play their cards.
The tribe is refusing to pay a casino fee of at least $25 million to the state that was due June 30, contending the state may owe the tribe money if a new Kenosha casino is approved by Gov. Scott Walker.
It's a trifecta: The Potawatomi save their money, remind Walker of what's at stake and send a powerful message during a heated gubernatorial campaign.
The Potawatomi are right to pressure Walker to make a decision. He should have decided by now — he should reject the Kenosha project. Wisconsin doesn't need another casino, especially when there is so much evidence that the new operation will harm existing ones.
The decision to withhold payment stems from compact agreements negotiated by former Gov. Jim Doyle several years ago. These deals included clauses requiring the state to reimburse some tribes for losses resulting from new competitors, which could add up to tens of millions of dollars in payments to the Potawatomi and Ho-Chunk tribes.
The Potawatomi compact calls for a panel of arbitrators to decide how the tribe would be reimbursed, a process that is under way, sources tell Journal Sentinel reporters.
The Kenosha casino project has vowed to reimburse tribes that can verify they lost money because of the new gaming operation, and the Menominee tribe, which has proposed the casino, contend the state might not have to cover any losses.
But, as one source told reporters, "It's clear as mud."
That means there is plenty of reason for skepticism.
If the Potawatomi and Ho-Chunk can be made whole with revenue from a new casino, that's one thing. If they can only be made whole by reduced payments to the state, that's another matter.
The Potawatomi claim a Kenosha casino would cost their Milwaukee operation up to $150 million a year, which would deal a major blow not only to the state but also to city and county governments that receive millions of dollars a year in payments. Jobs would be lost at the Milwaukee gaming hall, which amounts to a cost to the local economy and to those same governments.
The Potawatomi have a lot at stake here. Even if the tribe wins the argument that it no longer must pay a fee to the state if the Kenosha casino is built, the tribe still could lose. In a letter to the tribe in July, a special counsel to Walker said that the tribe's 2003 compact might no longer be valid, which would mean the tribe would be subject to a 1998 deal that allowed only a third as many slot machines as the Potawatomi now operate. Fewer slots mean far less revenue.
None of this political game playing should be necessary when Walker's decision is so clear: The Menominee's venture is a zero-sum game that rewards one tribe at the expense of another.
As the Journal Sentinel's Cary Spivak reported recently, gaming revenue at the Potawatomi's Menomonee Valley casino has been flat or down each of the past four years — a strong indication that the market for gaming is maturing in this region and a fact that raises serious questions about Menominee claims that a Kenosha casino will grow the market by attracting new customers from Chicagoland.
We're all for free enterprise, but gaming isn't free enterprise. It's a heavily regulated enterprise that comes with a large societal cost. Gamblers have plenty of options in this state, and the public interest isn't served by opening another casino. The Potawatomi were right to withhold the June payment to pressure Walker.
It's never a good idea to bet on the come. Walker shouldn't do so now.
Should Gov. Scott Walker approve the proposed Kenosha casino? To have your opinion considered as a letter to the editor, email email@example.com. Please see letters guidelines.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Retro / Vintage, Cute
What are you most proud of? This is my very fist knitting project, and I think it turned out pretty well!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? If you're a beginner knitter, don't be afraid of this project! Watch and listen carefully to Stefanie's instructions; she's an excellent teacher! This scarf was so much easier to make than I thought possible. I also would not recommend Vanna's Choice (by Lion Brand) yarn; it unravels way too easily (though maybe that was just operator error as I'm new at this!). Keep in mind, too, that with acrylic yarn you'll have to block without steam so as not to melt the fibers.
Just started this course and Im brand new at knitting your beautiful scarf gives me hope that I to can do this!
Thanks! I know you can do this! It looks much more difficult than it actually is (thereby seriously impressing friends and family when you tell them this was your first knitting project). ;) Good luck and have fun!
This looks great! I am still on trying to get the tension right on my knit stitch but seeing your beautiful scarf gives me hope that maybe I can do it too! :)
Thank you! My tension is far from uniform, but I like how this turned out nonetheless. Yours will be great!
woops i replied to a comment instead of making my own! love your scarf! it looks fantastic !
Very nice! Love the color! :)

Thursday, January 30, 2014
By James Lomuscio
During more than three hours of grueling numbers crunching tonight, the Westport Board of Education in a joint special meeting with the Board of Finance and other committees tried to fathom how the school system wound up $1.9 million in the hole this year and how to avoid future health insurance shortfalls.
The shortfall consists of a projected cash equivalent of $595,009, plus $1,307,400 of incurred but not reported (IBNR) claims.
Members of the Representative Town Meeting's (RTM) Education and Finance committees, the school board's Health Insurance Fund Review Committee, and Robert Pernicka, senior vice president of Segal Co., the school system's actuarial consulting firm, all dug deeply into the school board's intentional draw downs of health insurance reserves and a sharp increase in unreported claims since 2012.
Elio Longo, the school system's business manager, noted earlier this week that for 2012, six claims exceeded $100,000, one of them more than the stop loss of $225,000. For 2013, the number of six-figure claims jumped to 16, he said, with six exceeding $225,000.
