Viewing your TV wirelessly....

Here is a interesting article I found on the IMDB.com website. It is referring to a program called "Orb", I will let you read the rest, the link to the "Orb" Website is just after the article;

Product to Beam Your Computer to Your Cell Phone


A software product from Silicon Valley-based Orb Networks allows consumers to watch anything on their home computer on just about any other device with a screen, including cell phones, PDAs, laptops and television sets, Business Week reported on its website today (Tuesday). The device, called the Orb, could have a significant negative impact on companies already providing video content to wireless telephone companies. Orb CEO Joseph Costello told the magazine, "With Orb, it's simple: If you want to watch an Internet video on your cell phone or TV, then watch it. ... Why should you have to pay for content when you get it for free on your home PC?" Moreover, Orb users will not be limited just to Internet content, Costello indicated. Gary Morgenthaler of Morgenthaler Ventures, which is backing Orb added, "The magic is in the architecture, which offers complete flexibility -- any file type, data format, media source, IP-based network, or screen size."

Will this take a bite out of the "Slingbox"? Do you think this will be the equivalent of Wireless Media Market as"Limewire" or "Kaazaa" and Napster were to music? Let the battle begin....

I've used both ORB and Slingbox. Both work well but there are definitely pros and cons:

ORB

Pros:
- free
- can stream to multiple users (I believe)
- does not require software to view (i.e., streams are accessible via orb.com)
- can stream more than just TV (videos, music, images, etc.)

Cons:
- must have server PC with tv tuner card
- must leave PC powered on
- not many tv tuner cards are compatible

SLINGBOX

Pros:
- doesn't require server PC with tv tuner card
- easy to setup

Cons:
- only one remote viewer at a time
- remote and home viewer must watch the same thing unless a splitter is used
- requires Slingbox software to view
- needs wired or wireless connection to network (wireless would require additional hardware)

Moved to Multimedia.
