ZOTAC StreamBox review

Today’s smartphones are tablets make great media consumption devices and with the integration of cloud services, you always have your music or photo collection with you wherever you are. Traditionally, if you wish to share these on the big screen in your hall, you’d typically have to dump them on a pen drive or in your media player and view it. But what if you wish to simply sling your media, be it photos, video or music, wirelessly onto your TV that’s not DLNA compliant? ZOTAC has launched just the product for the job. Called the StreamBox, this little soap dish-sized device acts as a DLNA server, allowing you to push media from your PC, smartphone or tablet onto your non-smart TV. Design and build The StreamBox is built using a metal enclosure with metal mesh on the sides for ventilation. The unit is about the same size as the ZBOX Nano XS that we reviewed a while back.
