2Wire Unveils DSL MediaPortal STB

2Wire unveiled a MediaPortal platform designed to integrate satellite TV, DSL and a range of entertainment services through one set-top box and backend management system. The MediaPortal platform will allow DSL subscribers to buy digital content or access streaming media services from the Internet via a set-top box. It also makes digital content available to multiple devices over a home network. For instance, content can be delivered to and accessed from a home theater, second and third TV, stereo, PC or other networked appliance, or from outside the home using remote access.



The platform incorporates 2Wire's Component Management System (CMS), which is currently being used by service providers in North America and Europe to provision and manage more than more than a million of the company's HomePortal residential gateways. http://www.2wire.com
