P2POD: More Home Entertainment

Filed in archive Technology on February 19, 2006

P2POD is another home entertainment center like LamaBox and MuViBOXX, previously reported here. P2POD is offered by AHT International BV in Stellendam, the Netherlands.

The device outputs to both HDMI for high definition output (HDTV) and USB for digital files. Users can access the web like a PC. A pay media service will be provided for convenient access to Internet content, which also will be distributed as streaming media via P2P.

From their web site:

The core of the premium content and TV station features is built around a revolutionary software technology developed by the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). Their peer-to-peer technique allows not only content distribution features, but also LIVE video streaming over peer-to-peer networks. Because of this technology, with every added P2POD (or P2POD software client) the quality and speed of the services increases further.
