Dual Tuner Cards

Here's something that you aren't likely to be able to do with your average Tivo box or Microsoft Media Center -- how about using Orb Media to record two TV programs at once?  Or record one and stream another one to yourself on your smart phone?  A new feature slipped into Orb this week lets you use multiple tuner cards!  The engineers say you can use "n" cards...

Why do you work?

At dinner last night some friends of mine asked me what it was like to work at Orb. ... Orb allows me to keep all my digital stuff in one place. But at the same time, I can share the heck out of it with my family and friends. That is cool. And that is why I love working here.

Orbing at SBC

Went to the SF Giants vs. Rockies baseball game at SBC last Friday, and took my PDA along. SBC Park has wi fi, so thought it would be fun to do some Orbing while at the game... more...

Orb International

      One week ago we announced that Orb Media would be free and it has been a tremendous week of activity for us. Tomorrow we announce that Orb is available internationally! Most of the great Orb features will work everywhere in the world -- streaming video, streaming audio, photos. The only thing that is still US-centric is live TV -- because we have to license the TV guide in each country and it takes us awhile to find someone to license the data to us and then to integrate it into the user interface...
