No relation at all. If anything, this is more like the Roku Netflix set-top box.
I wonder how much better of a user experience this is IF I've already got my HDTV connected to my computer via HDMI and could view the streaming Internet video content that way.
@Paul Moon: According to the Amazon.com page (which is fairly light on details but has more than the press release) this thing just has a regular RCA composite out. Assuming they're not omitting some important details, your computer set-up is almost certainly better quality, if less convenient.

I must be confused, but I'm not seeing how this device is in any way related to the ZvBox other than they are both small black boxes.

It'd all be in one place is the thing, rather than having to surf around to find a channel.
