Iomega TV With Boxee Lands in the UK (At Last)

It’s been a while since we brought you news of Iomega’s partnership with Boxee on the cunningly-named Iomega TV With Boxee. Indeed, it was back in January that we first heard of its existence, and since checking a prototype out at CES 2011, silence. But it’s here (if your “here” is the UK, anyway) and available to buy. Check your cash situation first, though, because this debut device isn’t cheap.

iHomeServer for iTunes Runs Apple’s Media Player as a Service

Better but not ideal. Here’s 2011′s solution.

I loved the look of the hardware, but felt the software lacked a little grace and at the time, wondered just when the surveillance camera guys were going to move into the HD era. The answer, according to Y-Cam, is right now with the launch of the Bullet HD.
