Moxi Mate – multi-room add-on for Moxi DVR

Audio/Video, Home Theater, Gizmo of the Day / By /

Digeo (now owned by Arris) recently released a new addition to their product line, the Moxi Mate, which solves the multi-room problem, as in how do you get the content on your main Moxi DVR to a TV in another room.

The Moxi Mate has a large subset of the features of a regular Moxi DVR, such as HDMI, HD component output, USB 2.0 ports, a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port, a remote control and even an eSATA port. Of course, you also get the award-winning Moxi graphical interface and software.

Remember Moxi is not just a DVR, but also gives you access to Web-based content like Netflix, Hulu and YouTube; access to multimedia on your computer; and other up to date content from the Net like news, sports, weather and other info.

The Moxi Mate is a bit pricey for just an add-on, and Digeo should really sell a bundle of a DVR + Mate for a much reduced price. Other than that, the Mate is really what you need to complete your Moxi DVR.

#CES09: Dish 922 HD DVR with SlingBox embedded

Audio/Video, Home Theater, Books, Music and Movies, CES, Gizmo of the Day, Networking & Internet / By /

Excellent – this is what we want to see – more convergence of media devices. Following the purchase of Sling Media by EchoStar, the 2 have worked together to come up with a Dish Networks receiver that essentially embeds a Slingbox. They’re calling it a SlingLoaded player, but the bottom line is that you now get place-shifting built into your DVR and Satellite TV receiver. Nice.

The 922 is a sleek looking box with a 1 TB drive for up to 1000 hours of storage (in SD), can support 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480i, and 480p formats, and has a new touchpad remote control that has half as many buttons as a standard remote control, and that can function as a universal remote. Of course, it includes all of the SlingBox features and be controlled via the Web using SlingGuide.
