Hands-on With The Linksys by Cisco Media Hub


January 9th, 2009 by Todd Haselton  

linksysheaderStreaming media from your computer to your TV isn’t hard, but creating a home network with attached storage and accessing that storage easily can be tough for newcomers. Cisco has tackled this barrier with its new Linksys by Cisco Media Hub, a standalone device that comes in both 500GB and 1TB flavors with a single hot-swappable hard drive bay. When it’s plugged into your home network and your TV, it displays a beautiful user interface that you can easily view your music, movies, or photos on across your home network.

It’s intelligent too; if you have two copies of a specific CD across your network, it will only display one so that you’re not stumbling through duplicate listings while trying to choose a song.

Read on for a gallery of the new Linksys devices and more on the Media Hub.

The Media Hub also has a small LCD display, a 6-in-1 card reader, and two USB ports for adding additional storage to the device for sharing over your home network.

The 500GB version is available for $349 and the 1TB is available for $429. These products work with Linksys’ other new announcements which included a home media controller and the Director, a wireless-N music player which can access the Media Hub, and has its own LCD and speakers attached.
