Stream multimedia with Netgear
Philip Wong | Sep 26, 2006
The iTV may have wowed attendees at Apple's recent press event in San Francisco, but Netgear's EVA700 media streamer is expected to be available sooner.
If you are sick and tired of looking suspicious when the glow of the PC monitor is all that illuminates your body in a darken room, then it's time to move your night-time screen out of your bedroom and into your living room. The EVA700 streams multimedia content from the PC, network storage drives and USB devices right to your big-screen TV. It is compatible with most common video and audio formats, which can be sent via the Ethernet port and played through the RCA connectors, S-video port or a SCART connector. It is due in stores for the end-of-the-year holiday spree and expected to cost around US$269 (S$426.73).

Damian Koh | Sep 21, 2006
We know you Xbox 360 fanatics have been waiting for this: The HD-DVD addon drive for your console. Wait no longer as the external drive will be available in Japan on November 22, according to Microsoft, for 19,800 yen (US$168).
To make the deal sweeter, you'll also get a Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote along with your purchase. In conjunction with the launch, Microsoft will add 1080p support to the console for games and movies over a component or VGA connection.
However, there's no word on when any of these would be available outside Japan. So for everyone else in the Asia-Pacific region, we're afraid you just have to hang in there or look elsewhere for your 1080p fix.

It would seem that JVC TVs love company as well, with an array of inputs like dual HDMI, D4, component, i.LINK, Ethernet and optical audio out. And with the MaxxBass feature, these babies can be vocal with their love, too.
