Orb Networks is pushing the boundaries of placeshifting with its latest application that lets folks stream live TV to the iPhone or iPod touch.
While Orb's placeshifting software works with most mobile browsers, the iPhone is known for limiting the types of video content it supports. To get around these limitations, Orb has developed something called OrbLive, which it says enables the streaming of any video format to an iPhone.
"Although the iPhone provides users with a great way to experience the Web, it offers a ridiculously sub-par streaming video experience," said Orb CEO Joe Costello. "When all the carriers' free phones can stream lots of things that my iPhone can't, something's seriously wrong."
OrbLive 2.0 will change the way you enjoy your media.
OrbLive gives you immediate, anytime access to ALL your media. No sync-ing or uploading favorites. In fact, you can forget about your iTunes library. OrbLive uses the network to beam media from your home PC*. And Orb has optimized the transmission so it’s great over 3G, WIFI, or Edge. Imagine all your music, videos, photos – even live TV if you have a tuner card – in the palm of your hand. Turn your iPhone or iPod touch into an on-demand media center.
Get OrbLive today for $9.99 in the App Store. Or try OrbLive Free on your iPhone or iPod touch before you buy. And all you need for live TV is the tuner card – no other boxes or services to buy.
This is how media was meant to be enjoyed.
