A company going by the name of AHT International has an upcoming product called the Nuvio One which puts an interesting spin on the way we use IPTV. It won't ship with a hard drive, which means that you can only initially watch streaming content, but there is room for an internal SATA drive or an external USB drive.Basically the Nuvio One is a set top box designed to stream video via the internet to your TV. What makes it interesting though is that aside from just downloading content to be streamed, it also uses the Tribler P2P network to get content which can also be accessed via your PC.
Between the IPTV channels and the P2P network, that makes a lot of content available. At the moment the set top boxes are not available, but you can download the current beta release and try it out on your PC.
The details of the planned set top boxes are a little spotty, but they will apparently have an embedded RISC CPU with integrated I/O and video decoder functions, 64 MB of RAM, 64MB video, video resolution of up to 1920x1080, and it will support HDMI, S/PDIF, Ethernet, and USB 2.0. For a more complete set of specs, you can check out the Nuvio One product page.
