I’m going to have to admit right up front that this one slipped past me. I’ve been a Media Browser user for a couple of years now, but for the last month or so I have been distracted by some special project testing with XBMC and completely missed the release of Media Browser 2.6, codenamed Atlas.

You’d be forgiven if it seems like D-Link just introduced the “MovieNite” because it’s only been a few months since the DSM-310 was announced. Obviously they are discrete devices, with the first rev offering only six channels – VUDU, Netflix, Pandora, YouTube, Picasa, and mydlink.
