TVB Tech Alert: Netgear Box Connects TV to Web
SAN JOSE, CALIF: Netgear, a Silicon Valley tech firm, rolled out a new set-top box that streams online content to televisions. The new EVA2000 picks up movies, YouTube, Hulu, NetFlix, CBS and other select Internet fare and delivers it to the TV via HDMI. It also sports RCA jacks for connecting to older analog sets.
The EVA2000 is available now for around $150, HDMI cable not included. An optional wireless USB adapter is another $40. Netgear is merely one more device capable of streaming online content to TVs. Roku makes a $100 standalone set-top for the job, and recently inked a deal to carry certain Major League Baseball fare, (though like NetFlix, it’s subscription based). Vudu makes a box similar to the Roku. Samsung makes ’Net-enabled Blu-ray players.
