VWB's Flagship Broadband Media Device for TVs Allows Complete Range of Entertainment and Internet Options Plus Program Time-Shifting Using Built-In Hard Drive or DVD Recorder

LAS VEGAS CONVENTION CENTER, SOUTH HALL / BOOTH 20343, Jan. 7
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Video Without Boundaries(TM), Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: VDWB, VDWBE) , a leading provider of broadband media devices for home use, announced today from the 2005 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) that the company's MediaREADY(TM) 5000 Advanced Digital Media Center has been nominated for the 2005 "Best of CES" Award. The prize, sponsored by G4techTV, recognizes the top consumer electronics products of 2005.

VWB's MediaREADY 5000 is a breakthrough device that simply and easily connects people to all their home entertainment and Internet options, all in a single device. The set-top unit, about the size of a typical DVD player, combines a suite of popular TV-centric applications with an easy-to-use electronic program guide and the ability to record broadcast media on either the internal hard drive, built-in DVD recorder, or other hard drive connected via a home network. The unit also offers On-demand content, email, Internet browsing, games and MP3/CD/DVD/MPEG-1/MPEG-2/MPEG-4 playback on any connected television.

At $699 suggested retail, the MediaREADY 5000 is priced significantly below competing products. The unit is now available for distributors, retailers, and licensees at 2005 CES.

"In addition to its unmatched lineup of features, VWB's MediaREADY 5000 sets a new benchmark for the media device category due to its practicality, ease of use, and realistic price point," said Jeffrey Harrell, President and CEO of Video Without Boundaries, Inc. "As a Linux-based open standards product, the MediaREADY 5000 gives entertainment lovers the opportunity to easily add peripherals, new features, and an incredible range of content. We believe the MediaREADY 5000 provides consumers an affordable platform from which to enjoy a whole new era in digital information and entertainment."

While time-shifting -- the ability to interrupt or schedule favorite TV shows for viewing whenever convenient for the viewer -- is quickly gaining in popularity, the MediaREADY 5000 brings this capability to another level of flexibility. Shows can be easily burned to a DVD, stored in the on-board hard drive or other remote storage device in the home network; what's more, music, photos, movies, recorded shows and other audio/visual files from virtually anywhere, either the Internet or home network, can be played over a living room TV or home theater.

VWB's MediaREADY 5000 PVR+RW was nominated in the Whole House Entertainment category, honoring products that "manage, distribute, and aggregate all your home digital media," including media servers and receivers. The judging criteria include three criteria: "wow factor"; usability and usefulness; and value. Only products that have not yet hit the market or are just starting to ship are considered for the Best of CES award.

G4techTV's Best of CES nominees are judged by leading professional reviewers who have extensive experience in evaluation, purchasing, and using products in the category.

Video Without Boundaries' MediaREADY 5000 Advanced Digital Media Center will be demonstrated during 2005 International CES from the VWB exhibit, Booth 20343 in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. For more information, visit http://www.vwbinc.com/.
