Included in the Zv-100 Bundle


ZvBox™

  • Creates your own in-home HD channel called Zv, showing whatever is on your computer
  • Uses your existing in-home coaxial cable wiring to localcast Zv to all your HDTVs
  • Delivers the same great HD resolution that your computer displays
  • Delivers crisp Dolby Digital® sound
  • Only one ZvBox needed for your home, and no new device near your TVs

ZvBox™ turns the output of your computer into a real HDTV channel called Zv, and then "localcasts" that channel over your existing cable TV wiring to every HDTV in your house. Tune in Zv, and everything you can do at your computer is now available at your HDTVs.

ZvBox changes everything. Instead of flipping channels endlessly or huddling around a computer to watch your favorite shows, ZvBox lets you use your HDTVs to watch internet TV shows and movies, check your e-mail, view photos, listen to music, or browse your favorite web sites. ZvBox gives you all of this in the same great high resolution that your computer displays, along with crystal-clear Dolby® digital sound. And since one ZvBox at your computer serves all your HDTVs, there's no need for a new device at each TV. With ZvBox, if it's out there, you can watch it on your HDTVs from the comfort of your couch.
