Uebo M200 Media Player ($150) With Optional Internal HDD

Media storage company Uebo
is launching a box allowing British consumers to watch online video,
‘catch-up TV’ and other digital video on TV using a set-top box.

The company’s new Uebo M200 Media Player
provides viewers with a range of media experiences brought directly to
the big screen. This means viewers no longer have to squint at laptops
or jockey for position with their friends and family for a good view of
the PC.

Users of the Uebo M200 will be able to access a selection of streamed
content from such sources as BBC iPlayer, YouTube, and more, due to
compatibility with leading media server providers including PlayOn and
TVersity.

The M200 offers a host of options to the user, all accessible by remote
control. Users will be able to search the device for content on the
Internet and a home network, as well as items from USB drives. The M200
has its own optional internal hard drive for users to store their media
collections – and it can be used as a network attached storage device
for the home network, providing up to 2TB of storage that can be
accessed by any PC in the home. The M200 also has a built-in BitTorrent
facility to share files and download data directly from the Internet
avoiding the need to leave a PC running.

While PCs offer a similar range of features, they can be cumbersome to
set up and certainly take time to boot. The M200 has been designed
specifically for playing media files on your TV and as such, can be
configured quickly and be ready to use within seconds. Media files can
be played, paused, fast forwarded or replayed all with the touch of a
remote control.

The device supports a range of media formats and also can be used with
an additional internal hard drive to offer the user up to 2TB of
storage. It also offers the ability to show videos direct from a
camcorder, and photos from a digital camera.

Niall Smith, Uebo’s Sales Director for Europe said: "The M200 offers
an unparalleled user experience. It’s quick to set up, inexpensive and
uses less power than the PC – and it connects directly to your TV. With
easy access to your favourite catch-up TV channels, we think that this
box will prove to be a winner with British customers."

The Uebo M200 media player is available to buy online on the company’s web site.
