launched the newest Internet-connected set-top box in its popular<br />
"Digital Entertainer" product family. The new Digital Entertainer<br />
Live (EVA2000) is an easy-to-use and affordable Internet set-top box<br />
that enables viewers to play their digital media collections, YouTube<br />
videos and a wide range of other Internet content on big-screen TVs.<br />
Rather than having to watch downloaded movies and online videos on<br />
small computer screens, families can now enjoy media collections<br />
stored on USB storage devices, computers and network storage directly<br />
on their HDTVs, from the comfort of their couch.</p>
<p>In addition to personal media collections and YouTube, consumers can<br />
now easily browse, download and play newly released pay-per-view<br />
movies from Roxio CinemaNow. They can also view videos on their TV<br />
from a wide variety of Internet sources, such as Hulu, Netflix and<br />
CBS, through free software trials and optional subscriptions. The<br />
Digital Entertainer Live incorporates all of these functions into a<br />
single compact player, an advantage for cluttered home entertainment<br />
cabinets.</p>
<p>"People are amassing a huge amount of their own downloaded and<br />
personal digital music, photos, and videos, as well as consuming more<br />
and more Internet video," said Phillip Pyo, NETGEAR's director of<br />
product marketing for connected home entertainment products.<br />
"According to comScore's Video Metrix service, between January 2007<br />
and July 2009, there was a 331 percent jump in the number of minutes<br />
of video watched per average viewer per month. It went from 2 hours,<br />
31 minutes to 8 hours, 20 minutes."</p>
<p>He added, "The vast majority of people are still watching these<br />
videos on small computer screens, so it's logical to assume that the<br />
amount of time spent will continue to increase as devices such as the<br />
Digital Entertainer Live make it even easier to watch online video on<br />
HDTVs. NETGEAR is thrilled to offer an affordable, content-rich, and<br />
easy-to-set-up and -use solution that bridges this gap and enables<br />
people to fully enjoy their home media collections and online video<br />
from popular Internet sites on the best screen in their home - their<br />
big-screen TVs."</p>
<p>The Digital Entertainer Live is a compact, "plug in and go" home<br />
media player with a simple remote control that enables consumers to<br />
easily access their digital movies, videos, music and photos directly<br />
from their USB storage devices and watch them on their TV. Users need<br />
only plug a USB hard drive containing digital media content into one<br />
of two USB 2.0 ports on the Digital Entertainer Live and connect the<br />
Digital Entertainer Live to their HDTV using an HDMI or composite<br />
cable. The Digital Entertainer Live also features regular RCA jacks<br />
for connecting to older analog TVs.</p>
<p>Furthermore, with its integrated network port, the Digital<br />
Entertainer Live easily makes an Ethernet wired connection to the<br />
Internet and the home network, enabling access to digital media<br />
content stored on computers and network storage devices in the home<br />
network, as well as Internet content over the web. If consumers do<br />
not have an Ethernet connection available near their TV, they can use<br />
the optional Digital Entertainer Live Wireless USB Adapter (EVAW111)<br />
that connects the Digital Entertainer Live to the Internet and the<br />
home network via Wi-Fi. Alternatively, they can use existing<br />
electrical power outlets and a powerline device, such as NETGEAR's<br />
Home Theater Internet Connection Kit (XAVB1004), to connect the<br />
Digital Entertainer Live to the Internet and the home network.</p>
<p>By connecting the Digital Entertainer Live to a broadband Internet<br />
connection, consumers enjoy the full YouTube experience - searching,<br />
browsing and watching millions of videos with access to<br />
subscriptions, playlists, country selections, categories and channels<br />
- all without the need for a computer. Instead of huddling around a<br />
small computer screen to watch the latest funny video, consumers can<br />
now show it on their TV for everyone to enjoy.</p>
<p>To widen the search for Internet video content, the Digital<br />
Entertainer Live is shipped with a built-in Internet video search<br />
engine that can locate videos on the entire worldwide web. The<br />
Digital Entertainer Live performs dynamic keyword searches of more<br />
than a hundred thousand websites for Internet videos without needing<br />
a computer. The search feature yields dynamic results with each<br />
letter inputted and automatically categorizes popular subjects into<br />
easy-to-find folders.</p>
<p>The Digital Entertainer Live also supports pay-per-view movies<br />
on-demand from Roxio CinemaNow, where users can buy or rent a range<br />
of newly released movies as soon as they are available on DVD and<br />
watch them in minutes. Consumers no longer have to wait for the mail<br />
or drive to the nearest rental store. They simply browse all the<br />
movies on their TV and download them to a USB storage device using<br />
their Digital Entertainer Live and Roxio CinemaNow account.</p>
<p>Additionally, the Digital Entertainer Live includes a free trial of<br />
VuNow, which provides access to hundreds of other Internet videos,<br />
live Internet TV and live Internet radio streamed from popular sites<br />
from around the world, such as Bloomberg, CNN Video, C-SPAN, ESPN,<br />
Germany's 2DF, Al Jazeera, BBC Worldwide, China's CCTV, Germany's<br />
DWTV, Euronews, EuroSport, France 24, France's Orange Sport,<br />
Germany's RTL, and Sky News. The Digital Entertainer Live also comes<br />
with a free trial of PlayOn software. By running this optional<br />
software on a computer also connected to the Internet and home<br />
network, users enjoy hit TV shows and movies from popular Internet<br />
video services such as Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Video On Demand, BBC<br />
iPlayer, CBS, NFL, the Australian Broadcasting Corp. and more,<br />
wherever the service is normally available via the Internet.</p>
<p>"There is an ever-increasing amount of digital media - TV episodes,<br />
movies, photos and music - being stored on computers and other<br />
devices throughout the home, as well as on the Internet," said Jayant<br />
Dasari, broadband and television infrastructure and services research<br />
analyst at Parks Associates. "In fact, some people have even maxed<br />
out their personal computers with media, requiring external storage,<br />
such as one that connects via USB. Due to this increase in<br />
distributed digital media content, consumers are looking for ways to<br />
enjoy their digital media and online videos in one place.<br />
Internet-connected set-top boxes are one solution that enable the<br />
entire family to benefit from viewing the broadest spectrum of<br />
digital content on their HDTVs from the comfort of their living<br />
rooms."</p>
<p>Backed by a one-year warranty and 24/7 technical support, the NETGEAR<br />
Digital Entertainer Live (EVA2000) is available in the U.S. through<br />
leading retailers, e-commerce sites and value-added resellers at an<br />
MSRP of $149.99. The Digital Entertainer Live Wireless USB Adapter<br />
(EVAW111) has an MSRP of $39.99. Worldwide availability of the<br />
Digital Entertainer Live is planned for the coming months.</p>
