Hauppauge DivX Connected device in the wild

by Darren Murph, posted Jul 15th 2008 at 9:41AM


What's this? A DivX Connected device made by Hauppauge? Judging by the image above and information from Karolis, that's exactly what it is. The same folks who (finally) delivered the HD PVR seem to be hard at work on another home entertainment box, though your guess is as good as ours when it comes to purpose, specifications, color options and price. So much for that whole "worth a thousand words" thing, huh?

[Thanks, Karolis]

D-Link DSM-330 DivX Connected media streamer now shipping in the U.S.

by Richard Lawler, posted Jul 9th 2008 at 12:05AM


The D-Link MediaLounge DSM-330 is finally shipping to U.S. media streaming heads fiending for its 1080p upconverting, Divx/Xvid streaming abilities, although our excitement is dimmed a bit by all the competition that's popped up since we first laid eyes on the GejBox, and Stage6 falling by the wayside certainly doesn't help. That said, DivX has been on an upswing as of late, so the launch of its first Connected hardware couldn't come a moment to soon. Unfortunately MKV support isn't part of the package yet, but for $299 it does handle quite a few formats. Interested U.S. buyers should be able to find out if it matches up to Popcorn Hour's A-100 now, with Canadian distribution following shortly. Check after the break for the press release and the rest of the details.

Revision3 content now available on DivX Connected devices

by Darren Murph, posted May 12th 2008 at 6:43AM


Online TV network Revision3 has just announced a lovey-dovey partnership with DivX that will make watching the outlet's content via DivX Connected devices a lesson in simplicity. Put simply, the deal enables Revision3 material (you know, PixelPerfect, Diggnation and our personal fav Tekzilla) to flow smoothly over the DivX Connected platform. According to Jim Louderback, CEO of Revision3, the agreement will make watching its original HD programming in the living room much easier than in months past. Now, if only some of these DivX Connected items would find their way over to America, we'd be set.

Hauppauge has a DivX Connected box on the way

by Richard Lawler, posted Mar 7th 2008 at 12:03PM

Hauppauge has a rep for mixing up the PC and TV, so its no surprise the company is the latest to hook with DivX by announcing its plans for a DivX Connected box due in the second half of this year. HD from a local hard drive or streaming internet services should be no problem, since it shares the open platform of D-Link's DSM-330 but we'll have to wait 'til there's some hardware in our hands to know the fruits of this partnership, and if it's advanced over the original Gejbox.

Sony Pictures Television's serving up content to DivX Certified players

by Richard Lawler, posted Jan 9th 2008 at 7:01PM

DivX announced Sony Pictures Television will be offering "high quality, secure" content for download-to-own to DivX Certified hardware (like the PlayStation 3 or DSM-330, but probably definitely not the Xbox 360). Little details like who will actually sell this content, what shows will be available (our fingers are crossed for syndicated Jeopardy HD episodes) and when aren't mentioned, but this is another step as it promotes itself as a platform for legitimate content distribution.

Update: We contacted DivX and confirmed the Xbox 360 is not a Divx Certified device and will not play this content, while DivX Connected devices like the DSM-330 will..
