Video Without Boundaries has announced the development of the MediaREADY x40 digital media receiver.

Kurt Scherf, Vice President and Principal Analyst for Parks Associates says, "We expect that home networking solutions - including Digital Media Receivers and Adapters - will be purchased in growing numbers, especially as the service provider community adapts its existing customer premise equipment to receive IP-based digital entertainment content."

The MediaREADY x40 is a Linux-based digital media receiver. The MediaREADY x40 is capable of receiving digital media from a MediaREADY 4000, MediaREADY 5000 or PC on the same in-home network. This combination can create a whole-home personal video recording solution allowing access of recorded content throughout the home. The unit easily connects to any television in the home through onboard composite and S-Video connections. Users can simply and easily use their existing in-home networks to share their favorite TV shows, movies, home movies, digital pictures, and music, effectively creating a whole-home Media network.

"We view the MediaREADY x40 as a perfect standalone Personal Video Recorder extender solution for users who are using Video Capture cards in their PCs," commented Jeffrey Harrell, CEO and President of Video Without Boundaries. He added, "In addition, the combination of this unit with our MediaREADY 4000 or 5000 products can create a custom whole-home digital media network accessible on any television in the home."
