Digeo Announces Moxi TV for PC and Offers an Early Look
KIRKLAND, Wash. December 6, 2007 Digeo, Inc., makers of the Emmy®-award
winning Moxi digital media recorders (DMR), today announced Moxi TV for PC, a
software application enabling PC users who have a TV tuner card and Windows XP to
use their personal computer as a DMR. With Moxi TV for PC, users can watch, record
and play TV content from their PC. For a limited time, those interested can sign up
to for the Moxi TV for PC beta program at www.moxi.com. The beta will be available
to beta testers for download at no cost.
Moxi TV for PC offers the same award-winning Moxi Menu and a new, improved version
of the user experience found in the popular Moxi television set-top boxes, which are
currently delivered through cable operators. It includes many of the Moxi features
planned for the highly-anticipated Moxi Multi-Room HD DMR, available soon via retail
outlets. As consumers increasingly look to their PC as a complement to their TV
watching routine, Moxi TV for PC stands to offer better overall navigation and
usability.
We have always been committed to delivering the best consumer experience and Moxi
TV for PC is no exception,â€Â said Mike Fidler, CEO of Digeo. There is
tremendous opportunity to improve the home theater PC experience, and the Moxi TV
for PC beta offers a glimpse at the potential for the space. We welcome this chance
to provide select consumers a sneak peak of the Moxi experience as we near delivery
of solutions for both the PC and the TV.
Unlike other PVR software applications which have traditionally targeted the
technology enthusiast, Moxi TV for PC brings a more mainstream appeal to the
category by applying best practices in TV navigation and design. With the popular
Moxi Menu, users are able to intuitively explore two weeks of TV programming, watch
live TV, schedule recordings and access other multimedia features including music,
photos, and DVD viewing. Moxi TV for PC currently supports standard definition
recording and works with an expanding list of tuner cards, including the most
popular models used today.
Current home theater PC enthusiasts, users of alternative PVR or DVR software
applications and others who would enjoy more flexibility in where and when they
watch TV are encouraged to participate in the Moxi TV for PC beta program. The Moxi
TV for PC beta program will be available to a select group of participants for a
limited time only, and candidates will be considered on a first come, first serve
basis.
