ZeeVee: streaming HDTV from your PC over coax

By Chris Davies on Monday, May 5th 2008 1 Comment

ZeeVee have announced their ZvBox media streamer, intended to make sharing content either stored on, or streamed to, your home computer viewable on every HDTV in your home. Connecting to the computer’s VGA port, the ZvBox then creates a custom RF channel that’s distributed via the building’s existing coax wiring. Since at its most basic it merely displays exactly what is being shown on the PC’s display, there are no codec, DRM or other restrictions as often found on traditional media streamers; as long as your computer can play it, you can view it via ZeeVee.
