Iomega ScreenPlay Director HD media player gets busy with CinemaNow

An extender device with CinemaNow support? That’s pretty unique, and the inclusion of a 1TB drive is sweet as well. Might be enough to swallow the $250 asking price. I think the big thing is you really need to prefer CinemaNow to Netflix…but with the Roku box at $99, it’s a tough sell for me.

The 1TB HD media player brings a bevy of TV connectivity options including HDMI composite video, component, and more. It’s also DLNA- and DivX-certificated in addition to boasting H.264, WMV, AVCHD and MKV format support at 1080p. A trio of USB ports give you room for external capacity growth while baked in 10/100 Ethernet (or optional 802.11n USB WiFi Adapter) gets the pup online where you can rent or buy movies from CinemaNow or browse content on Flickr, YouTube, Shoutcast radio, and RSS feeds.
