Can someone help me choose between D-link's Media Lounge 520, Hauppage's Media MVP, and Slim Device's Squeezebox. I would like to invest in one of them but I hear that some are buggy, some do not support HD, some are costlier than others, but are they worth it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I have the Squeezebox, and I love it. I don't run it wirelessly though, I use CAT5 cable.

The software is minorly buggy, but it hasn't been a big problem for me. Just don't expect it to be 100% seamless. And it is getting better rapidly.

I haven't checked out the other choices, but I can tell you the squeezebox is an *excellent* value for the money. I use a DAC with mine, but I was using the analog outs for a couple months and they have outstanding sound quality for that price range.

The Squeezebox has received wonderful reviews, I am thinking of going towards this product as it has a nice digital read out display. I do have some questions for you. Does this product come with a remote, will it support HD capabilities (have HDMI outs??) and where can I get one??? Thanks again Mike you have been extremely helpful, and I was expecting bugs :-)

Yes remote, no HD.
