Freevo
Freevo allows you to manage
your entire digital media collection - music, videos, photos etc. via a
remote controlled TV interface. Through its built in web interface you
can also access your media, view your TV guide and schedule recordings
from anywhere in the world.
Freevo is 100% DRM free, plays video in a wide variety of
formats, and puts you in control of the television.
