XStreamHD starts pumping out media boxes in preparation for 2010 launch
It's nearly CES time, and just like the last couple years, that means a steady stream of news about XStreamHD, the promised satellite-delivered Blu-ray-quality HD video on-demand provider that until now has given us mostly just lofty promises. That may be about to change, as the company announced it has selected a manufacturing partner, Jabil Circuit and begun production of the HD Media Server, receiver and PRO Media Receiver hardware. Clearly the '08 fourth quarter launch didn't come to be, with actual hardware in tow, we'll see if the other claims (expandable to 3TB of storage, 1080p Movies with 7.1 lossless audio, DLNA access across the network, VOIP, ATSC tuners and DVR with a $399 price) make it to reality.
