Ubicod's prepped to release a hot, new do-it-all hi-definition media center in the new year. No, we're not talking Windows Vista Media Center but a proprietary, networked PVR, with time shifting, EPG, and dual-ATSC/NTSC tuner. It's not clear how much, if any storage is on-board as the specs only list "support for SATA HDD" as a peripheral. Hopefully, we're talking a few hundred gig on board with <a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=esata">eSATA</a> support for a TB or more hanging off the back. The box brings plenty of connectivity with component, composite, and HDMI outs and 2x RCA, optical and coaxial digital (S/PDIF), and AC3 Dolby Digital audio support. It also features a USB host port for pc-less transfer of media from USB-equipped MP3 players and digital cameras. Best of all, the UMH700 connects to your home network via fixed Ethernet or even over the home power lines with support for the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/06/new-85-mbps-homeplug-turbo-products-not-so-turbo/">not even close to 85Mbps</a> HomePlug 1.0 Turbo standard. Media can then be streamed via UPnP and DLNA from your PC/Mac or other compatible product. Pricing and release, you wish. All we know is Ubicod, we'll be mackerel. Sorry, but it was so there.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.pvrwire.com/2006/11/08/a-sleek-new-media-center-from-ubicod/">PVRWire</a>]<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">*</p><p><a href=http://www.ubicod.com/Product01.htm>Read</a> | <a href="http://hdtv.engadget.com/2006/11/10/ubicods-umh700-non-windows-vista-media-center-media-center/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://hdtv.engadget.com/forward/699530/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&fc=1&url=http://hdtv.engadget.com/2006/11/10/ubicods-umh700-non-windows-vista-media-center-media-center/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking Blogs</a> | <a href="http://hdtv.engadget.com/2006/11/10/ubicods-umh700-non-windows-vista-media-center-media-center/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p><hr /><p><a title="Sponsored By" href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/click;h=v2|3747|0|0|%2a|u;44404524;0-0;0;13519412;31-1|1;17996600|18014495|1;;%3fhttp://www.fordboldmoves.com/default.aspx?bannerid=%esid!|%epid!|%eaid!|%ecid!" target="_blank">BOLD MOVES: THE FUTURE OF FORD</a> A new documentary series.
