No, they are not networkable. However, they are damn fine machines. Mine has been solid as a rock since I got it last year and menu navigation and channel changing is WAY faster than on my 5040. Also, I am still not convinced that the 5040s video quality is any better than that of the Showstopper, even through the 5040s component video connection. One thing I do know, the 5040s S-video quality was a far cry from the Showstopper's S-video quality when it was sitting in the rack next to the 55" Mitsubishi TV (it now resides in the bedroom).
