Orb-Like functionality

los93sol · 2006-10-20, 16:35

I'm not sure how many people here use Orb www.orb.com if you want to find more information about the application. It would be awesome to have similar functionality in MP since your starting ground is a much more robust platform. Basically Orb is a TV-server, it is a client that runs on your home pc and connects to the Orb webserver. No matter where you are, anywhere in the world you login to the orb webserver myorb.com or something like that (the key is that it is hosted on a centralized domain) and you can flip through your EPG and choose what you want to watch. Now the really cool thing about it is that you can watch your recorded shows, live tv, etc. all on the go, it even works over 3G and EVDO connections for mobile phones. This would be an absolutely amazing addition to MediaPortal!!! What do you guys think?
