<p>equinux brings the TV community closer together with The Tube 2.0</p>
<p>equinux introduces TV solution, The Tube 2.0, with TV Chat and a list of<br />
new other features</p>
<p>Munich, Germany / San Mateo, USA -- December 13th, 2007: Today equinux<br />
introduced The Tube 2.0, the second generation of its popular TV software<br />
for the Mac, adding new community-oriented features. Using the new TubeTalk<br />
feature, TV viewers can chat with one another about the current program or<br />
even follow other users as they channel surf with BuddySurfing. In<br />
addition, The Tube 2.0 simplifies the overall recording process and adds a<br />
new list of features to The Tube.</p>
<p>More conversation while watching TV -- with TubeTalk</p>
<p>With TubeTalk, equinux brings the TV community together. For every running<br />
television program, there is a visible chat room, in which all viewers can<br />
use to chat with one another. In the channel list, each viewer can see how<br />
many viewers are currently watching the running program for each channel,<br />
as well as when new messages are being sent. Each user can create their own<br />
profile, complete with user name, picture and status. The only thing needed<br />
to register is an equinux ID. To make it easier to find other users, you<br />
can search under all available profile information, allowing you to add<br />
your TV buddies to your TV buddy list.</p>
<p>BuddySurfing - let your buddies channel surf for you</p>
<p>Any true couch potato will be excited about BuddySurfing in The Tube 2.0.<br />
With just one click, you can automate your TV surfing, by setting The Tube<br />
to automatically switch the channel along with one of your buddies. So when<br />
your buddy changes to channel 1, 3 and then 6, The Tube will automatically<br />
change your channels to 1, 3 and then 6.</p>
<p>Recording and Navigation made easy</p>
<p>Even if you manually start a recording, The Tube 2.0 will automatically<br />
stop the recording, as soon as the program is over. And The Tube 2.0<br />
simplifies the overall recording process. Once you have a program scheduled<br />
for a recording in the EPG, The Tube automatically removes any other shows<br />
during that time slot, so there won't be any problems with overlapping.<br />
Even if the computer is in sleep mode when a recording is scheduled, The<br />
Tube will wake the computer up when the recording begins and switch it back<br />
to sleep once the recording has finished.</p>
<p>Easily Find and Save Recordings</p>
<p>To find saved recording faster and easier, simply search by name or date<br />
and search for keywords in the description texts, to help you easily narrow<br />
your search. Users can even search via Spotlight, now that all recordings<br />
are saved in the Movies folder. And those TV watchers, using Mac OS X 10.5<br />
can take advantage of the Leopard QuickLook feature and find all necessary<br />
recording details at a glance.</p>
<p>Prices and Availability</p>
<p>Registered users can immediately download The Tube 2.0 for free from the<br />
equinux Website or by using the update function in The Tube. A full version<br />
of The Tube software can be purchased in the equinux Online Store for 19.95<br />
=A4 (German VAT included), or The Tube can be purchased with the DVB-T (DTT)<br />
USB receiver TubeStick for =A4 39.95 (German VAT included).</p>
