Keith vs. the Vulkano

摘要

What it is: The Vulkano series of multimedia devices are designed to be several different Internet-connected, home entertainment, streaming TV devices built into one small box. A Vulkano device wants to act like a Slingbox that can stream live TV to different products, such as a PC, an iPad or an iPhone (or another mobile phone). It wants to be a DVR that can record TV shows to an attached storage drive. It wants to be a network streaming device that lets you watch YouTube videos and home videos, display photos and stream music across your home network. The device sits between your cable box and TV, and includes a Wi-Fi connection or Ethernet port for connecting to your home network. The Deluxe Pro SOOG unit that was sent to us included a SOOGB hard drive that attached via eSATA cable; it was to be used as the DVR. The company also sells a model with a 16GB SD card for a lower price.
