P2POD drops P2P video onto your HDTV



A company by the name of AHT International from the Netherlands will be showing off their new P2POD at CeBIT. A device developed using software pioneered at Delft University of Technology that allows it not only to capture media from peer-to-peer networks, but also play it streaming over the Internet from said networks onto your 1080 HDTV -- but because apparently the quality and speed of the service is enhanced by more P2PODs being online, we assume then that these things are going to be on some proprietary P2POD P2P network (not that it could use BitTorrrent for streaming media anyway, because the files don't transfer serially). Perhaps the best part of all about this thing is that it supports Windows Media DRM (for playing back, um, legitimately licensed media); expect this thing to cost $150 in Q3.
