Orb TV streams Internet video to TV, uses smartphone as remote (Digital Trends)

Digital Trends - The world of Internet-streaming set-top boxes is getting more and more competitive—and some of the offerings look more like hockey pucks than boxes. Orb has announced its new $99 Orb TV device, that enables users to stream video content from Hulu, ESPN3, Comedy Central, YouTube, and more sources from their existing PC to their television. And instead of charging customers for a separate remote that will just be lost in the depths of a couch, the Orb TV leverages users’ existing Apple or Android smartphones to serve as remote controls.
