  • <p>Television used to be a sedentary experience. You'd settle into the couch and try your luck with the shows on offer, racing to the bathroom during commercial breaks so you wouldn't miss a beat. But now you can pause, rewind, record and search thousands of options at the click of a button. Cable, satellite services and personal video libraries are now accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. First-run movies are beamed directly into our homes and there's a galaxy of channels to choose from. Today's media streamers also go a long way toward solving that TV "problem," helping us cut the cord, while still having access to the shows we love.</p> <p>We're certainly spoiled, but it didn't happen overnight. Come along as we tour some of the historical highlights of media streaming, place shifting and total TV control.</p>

    The FCC database continues to be full of weird and wonderful toys, and the EZFetch HD media streamer from EZ 4 Media certainly fits that description -- in addition to streaming content off networked PCs, it can also grab content from Nokia Nseries devices and display it on your TV. Connections include the usual SD composite jacks, as well as optical audio, DVI-D, Ethernet, and built-in 801.11g wireless, and codec support is pretty spectacular, including H.264, XviD, DivX HD, MPEG4, WMV, and VOB. The Nseries integration is the big feature here, however -- not only does the EZFetch stream content from any WiFi-capable Nseries device, you can also use the Nseries as a remote to control the entire EZFetch system. No word on pricing or availability, sadly, but RF spectrum test geeks can check out all the test results at the read link. Read -- EZ 4 Media website Read -- EZFetch FCC listing
