Whilst Internet TV, movies and TV show downloads are great to have and very convenient there is the ongoing problem of watching on your laptop or small PC screen whilst your 42 inch HD TV sits in the corner.

The solutions so far are too much hassle including limited content, subscription fees, needing a set top box on every TV etc. A company called ZeeVee has solved the problem though being the first device that will allow you to watch on your TV set anything you can view online or on your PC. This amazing feat is achieved by sending from your PC output a new high-definition (HD) TV channel called Zv, which is then broadcast across the existing cable wiring to all HDTVs in the home. As a result, ZvBox frees TV watchers from restrictive set-top boxes, rigid network schedules, and the strain of hunching over laptops to view online video.This breakthrough broadcasting method is called ‘localcasting’ and it uses existing tunersfound within HDTV sets and your existing cable wiring setup.

So you can now watch free movies and TV shows even HD ones straight from your catch up TV websites such as abc.go.com & cbs.com to your big screen tv or watch content downloaded from iTunes or Netflix on your TV, basically anything on your PC screen can be broadcast so you can forget about the Apple TV box and Netflix Player as this will do the same and more.

Using this system will save subscription costs and you get the all important hires HD signal from your PC screen. The content can be viewed on any TV in the house. ZvBox comes supplied with a touchpad ZvRemote allowing you to control your PC mouse from up to 150 distance.

All silver linings have a cloud though and the ZvBox’s is a mammoth $500 price tag. Considering you can connect a PC to your TV using a HDMI cable, however if you have multi tv’s in your house or your tv is a long way from your pc then the ZvBox is a good option and of course as its a new out gadget its cool man.

The ZvBox is released end of June 2008
