  • <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>

    Truth be told, we were pretty intrigued by the sheer quantity of features and the very respectable price tag affixed to the EZfetch Wireless HD Digital Media Player, but according to a review over at Networking Audio / Video, there's a lot left to be desired. Of course, the device seemed to have no qualms playing back video over a wired connection, but the lackluster audio streamer and underwhelming photo viewer started putting a real damper on the party. Worst of all, reviewers never could get the unit to function as advertised over a wireless network, which we assume would be a huge selling point for many. Granted, we suppose another unit in another setting may set up just fine, but we'd recommend giving the review below a once over and doing a bit more digging for user experiences before pulling the trigger on this one.

    We certainly haven't been starved for media streamers of late, and if you reckoned the feature-packed EZfetch Wireless HD Digital Media Player would be priced right out of your league, guess again. This multifaceted unit, which appeared just days ago on the FCC's website, is now officially available to anyone interested -- and for $249, no less. Yep, for the price of a (likely sold-out) Wii, users can can pick up a snazzy streaming box that pulls in content from Nokia N-series mobiles, PCs, NAS drives and a slew of WiFi-enabled devices in order to light up your living room TV. Furthermore, the gizmo plays nice with more formats than you can shake a stick at, and it's shipping now to those who simply can't resist.[Via eHomeUpgrade]
