Read the Review


"Denon's all-in-one NS-S100 offers a powerful, user-friendly way of managing your many media files."

As far as I can tell from the article and the show I saw, someone got their hands on 3.5 code and put it in it's own box. If you guys have TechTV try and record this episode. I happen to have it with my on-demand service so I am not sure when it actually aired or will re-air. (OH... SS dont worry. On-demand sucks so bad compared to BeyondTV, but its the only way I get TechTV )

This little box is Beyond TV and Beyond Media in one box for around 3-5000 bucks. It streamed recored and live TV to all clients on the network. I am not sure if Beyond Media can do this but... this thing could play music and show it's stored pictures at the same time. The interface look good. I like BTV better. I am sure they are more focused on compeating with XP MC and Tivo! but it shows the PVR\HTPC revolution has started!

um according to the article:

The full-function PVR and the media-sharing capabilities are powered by the underlying Mediabolic One platform, which sits on top of a Linux core.

its running a specialized version of linux not beyondtv/media

Hey cool;

So if I buy 1 server and 5 clients for only $10,000 I can do everything my current el-cheapo special setup does.
And it'll be obsolete in only a couple of years.

Quick to my checkbook!

Someone ported it to linux.


I was just making a dramatic comparison. Sheeeesh.
