You've landed in Danaville. This site is something of a personal knowledge base. Mostly a home for notes about my day-to-day discoveries in the digital world. While some tips may seem obvious (we learn a new thing every day right?), hopefully you'll find a few of them informative and perhaps useful in your own tech travels!
Zinc: A Free Media Center Browser
April 6th, 2009 by danalwebb received No Comments »
ZeeVee, a startup venture focused on helping people watch high-definition Internet video on their TVs, recently introduced a new version of its free video browser – formerly known as Zviewer. Now called called Zinc, it was originally designed for the ZvBox, the firm’s PC-to-TV-over-coaxial-cable appliance. The application runs on any Windows XP or Vista computer and the company’ website reports that a Mac version is also in the works.
Once installed on a PC (a Mac version should surface by April), users can easily navigate to tons of internet-based TV content from the likes of CBS, ABC, etc. Also of note, this version bakes in access to your Netflix Watch Instantly queue, providing access to 15,000 feature length movies and tens of thousands of TV shows. For now, ZeeVee’s committed to keeping the application free, and it believes its superior UI will win folks over. The full release is waiting just past the break, and those interested in giving it a go should find a live download waiting right here.
