Watch Internet video on your HD TV with ZvBox

Littleton start-up ZeeVee Inc. said today it has launched ZvBox, a $499 consumer electronics product that enables people to watch Internet TV and online video on their high-definition television sets.

According to ZeeVee, the explosion of Internet TV and movie downloads has been confined to the personal computer's small screen, and the ZvBox aims to change that.

ZvBox connects to the monitor output of a PC and turns it into a high-definition TV channel called Zv, which is then broadcast across existing cable wiring to all HD TVs in a home, the company said.

The device is available for preorder exclusively at Amazon.com, which is scheduled to begin shipping the product to consumers on June 30, ZeeVee said.
