GBTV #0355 (small) | GeekBrief.TV

ots of boxes have been built to get some of what's on your PC onto your HDTV. Most of them govern which content you're able to see. The ZeeVee ZvBox will let you see what ever is on your computer from any TV connected via a coaxial cable. You're essentially creating a personal HDTV channel that displays whatever is on your computer. You can access and control any application on your computer. You can even play DVDs from your computer's optical drive.

Zv components are available for pre-order exclusively from Amazon. The only downside I could find is that the computer channel will be the same on all connected TVs. Two people in different rooms cannot watch different videos at the same time, unless I missed something.

Sometime around CES, we covered the R2-D2 DVD Projector. We thought it was a cute novelty thing until @chaeseco pointed us toward the video via Twitter. Neal told him we already covered it, but after watching the video we wanted to show it to you guys. It's longer than most videos we put on Geek Brief (about 2 minutes), but it's just too cool to shorten.

The Star Wars Shop sells the R2-D2 DVD Projector for nearly $3000 and they're sold out. Read More
