The VigoBox claims to be a one set-top box DVR and cable programming solution for up to five televisions in a coaxial wired home (no home networking equipment required). Just install a VigoBox on one TV set and a smaller VigoLink connector on each of the other TV sets in the home and users will able to view, record, and access separate TV/video feeds in their own rooms. What's more the VigoBox can optionally be connected to a home network and function as a personal server so family members can share digital music, photos, and home videos via the VigoBox Media Library."<br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/vigoto_vigobox.jpg" /> <br /><br />Wow. 8O If this is all it claims to be, this could be revolutionary - most PVR fans have to buy multiple PVRs in order to get the joy of time-shifted TV on multiple TVs. This product claims to offer full PVR functionality on up to five TVs in a household over nothing more than coaxial cable. The bad news is that it seems to be a cable provider-aimed solution, not a product that end users can purchase. I'll try to find out more though - this looks quite impressive!
