It’s a box
But not just any box.
TVBLOB is working with CE manufacturers to bring a new range of Internet set-top box to market. There will be some slight variations between feature sets (so please check the model details!), but essentially they will all enable you to do a whole lot more with your standard TV.
Why? Most set-top boxes that you may have seen in the market were created primarily to receive content, however, the TVBLOB Media Center was designed to both send and receive content in real time. There's huge difference.
In order for you to have have true TV interactivity in real-time that both makes sense and feels natural (e.g., particularly for TV video communications), data coming to and going from your box to another must be digitally encoded and decoded on the fly (i.e., in layman’s terms, disassembled in tiny bits and reassembled really quickly in the correct order, without losing bits in between).
As well, it also enables video streaming without buffering (that irritating bar that you see when downloading video in a PC), so you watch everything just as you would on TV.
The other big bonus for you is that the TVBLOB Box converges several appliances into one, including:
- PVR (personal video recorder)...you can record calls events and shows, save them and replay them again and again.
- Hard drive... with 160GB of storage built into the box, you'll have a good chunk of space to record multimedia content.
- Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) receiver... you can also receive DTT with the additional purchase of a simple USB key from TVBLOB.
