In the UK for example Tivo was only ever briefly available because the UK satellite TV market is a de facto monopoly and Sky TV (who are the only satellite provider) have their own non-Tivo set top box. Sky do not allow anyone else to develop a decoder for their propriety encryption. -- andynormancx Yes, it will. Yes, all of them. Yes, SoftSqueeze as well. What ?

It may not be exactly what you had in mind, but 1) It will download videos from PC to Tivo and play them while downloading (you may need pyTivo to do this, depending on the format on the PC). 2) It will download videos from Amazon Unbox and play them. 3) It will play YouTube videos in real time (no downloading to hard drive). 4) Not to mention the whole two-tuner DVR functionality...

The same applies to other sybas-based network players (iStar, Dune HD/BD whatever, ...) Although i don't know the venerable slimp3 player i would think video streamers are in the same age today: working but not near as mature as those Slim Players (+ Squeezecenter) are nowadays. What's similar: you can spend quite some time tweaking and expanding this system as there are a lot of 'addons' (http://code.google.com/p/moviejukebox/wiki/MovieJukebox) and an acitve 'community' (http://www.networkedmediatank.com/) Summary: As much as i'd like to see a network video streamer with the qualities of a transporter i don't think it's prime time(*) for these devices yet. kind regards, Markus (*) It's not the technical domain only but much more the content delivery part... -- schiegl schiegl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6654 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54102 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Video equivalent of Transporter
I don't (yet) own one of these, but my guess is that the Popcorn Hour A-110 is the closest thing available. http://www.popcornhour.com Check out the review at http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/accessories/0,39100116,49298605,00.htm and the review "The best media streamers" at http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/accessories/0,39100116,49299176,00.htm.
