ZvBox: Stream PC video to any TV in the house {TV Squad}
May 14th 2008 9:55PM Sounds very cool, like a remote monitor of my PC on my TV. I can think of a million uses for this, not just video. Right now I have a DVD player hooked up to my HDTV on the wall that I can now get rid of, because I can play it from my computer. I don't have a set-top box for this TV, just the coax, so anything more I can get online (like Hulu or YouTube) is a bonus. Am I reading this right-- I just need to plug ZvBox into my computer and my cable jack?

I don't think you get it. As a woman and a mother, this is the perfect solution for internet TV (I may be watching Desparate HWs and Idol re-plays, but we all agree we want our shows on demand, right?). When we got our first flat panel TV and hung it on the wall, I refused to let my husband add any new cords connected to it-- way too ugly. With ZvBox all I need is a remote control to watch everything, plus check email (soccer games, school schedules, etc.) and browse my favorite news and blog sites and weathercasts from the couch (and for me, from bed before I go to sleep at night), slide-shows, and kid-friendly sites. You get the idea. I have a DVR, but I would still rather use internet sites to watch shows when I want rather than scheduling recordings. To do all this, my family needs FLEXIBILITY. Why watch Internet TV if your shows are limited to iTunes? Instead, I am going to sign up for the Netflix "all you can eat" plan, watch my current internet shows, and cut back on all the monthly fees I pay for cable. Even at this price (one box for the whole house), I bet I will save money. By the way, I am not very technical, but I do know I get HDTV channels on my cable wires, so I am hopeful that ZvBox will look just as good.
