Samsung MediaLive

Samsung this week began showcasing a new extender for Windows Media Center which looks decidedly more stylish than similar products on the market. It is called the Samsung MediaLive and to get one you’ll have to cough up around $200.

The Samsung MediaLive lets you stream either wired or wirelessly, including HD content, from a PC equipped with Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate. It is designed to be paired with most 2008-model Samsung HDTVs, though I imagine you can use it with most any teleivsion which has the correct A/V inputs and HD support.

Features of the MediaLive include support for a range of video, audio, and image codecs such as AC3, H.264, JPEG, MPEG2, MPEG4, WMA, and WMV, access to online entertainment services like MovieLink and Vongo and DVR capabilities. It becomes available in August.
