The Sony Streaming Player SMP-N200 sells for between $69.99-79.99 depending on where you shop. It lets you control the box over your home network from your smartphone or tablet. While the physical remote feels comfortable and is intuitive, check out Media Remote for Android or Apple iOS. This isn’t a major selling point, but it’s there if you need it. It doesn’t work that great, and is unable to display a lot of pages correctly. I haven’t seen something like this since back in the days of WebTV or the Sega Dreamcast. It supports several video and audio file types which include AAC, ACV-HD, DivX, DivX HD, JPEG, MKV, MP3, WMA, MPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and WMV.Īn interesting feature that Sony includes on the SMP-N200 is a Web Browser. Hitting the Options button on the remote lets you control playback, audio and video settings. Here’s an example of playing an AVI file from a USB drive. It includes a USB port on the side of the box so you can plug an external drive and play media from it. The SMP-N200 is DLNA ready, so no plugins or special set up is required. This let me access my movies, music and photos with ease. After connecting, it found my Windows Home Server 2011 system out of the box. The selection of movies isn’t the greatest, and of you have Netflix and / or Amazon Prime account, having additional charges defeats the purpose of being a cord cutter.Īfter plugging in the box, there is a quick setup process to work through to adjust picture quality and connect to your home network. You can Rent or Buy movies and costs vary. Videos Unlimited is a pay-as-you-go service. Sony offers a 30 day free trial for Music Unlimited and after that it’s $9.99 / month for the Premium service.
