Laptops are great for viewing various youtube videos and the like, but when you get a few people huddled around the screen you are forced to deal with awkward viewing angles on said laptop. If you want to watch Youtube videos as a family, the VuNow Pod is another option.

It’s a palm sized set top box that is also the first solution to allow consumers to watch content from the web directly on their television, without having to connect a computer. It lets users experience the content together on the big screen TV. Best of all, no awkward viewing angles etc.

In fact, it’s not just Youtube content. The box has a UI that picks out channels across the net and sends them straight to your TV. The channels include one strictly for YouTube content, another for CinemaNow, a BitTorrent codec option, and a “Global’ select channel that takes in choice clips from around the world.
