Coming attraction on DVDs: PC content - Tech News - CNET.com
"The Santa Clara, Calif.-based consumer-electronics maker on Monday announced its new DVD player, the Go-Video D2730. In addition to playing DVD movies, the new player will be able to access content on PCs, such as photos, music and videos, via a wireless network connection. The company will demonstrate the device at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and will begin selling it for $250 in the first quarter of 2003.

"There is a lot of good content locked up in PCs that people want to enjoy from multiple rooms in the house," said Ed Brachocki, vice president at Sonicblue. The company is expecting to add wireless networking to other devices, such as its ReplayTV digital video recorder, as part of Sonicblue's ongoing strategy of connecting consumers to digital media, he said.
