1Overview
PPbox is a revolutionary digital home solution for those who have LCD TVs or projectors, as
well as personal computers with networking connection. PPbox provides enterprise-level
network auto-configuration capability, and thus is very easy to configure and setup.
PPbox has built-in P2P TV service which delivers over 500 free channels anytime. Besides P2P
TV, PPbox also works as a super DMA, or Digital Media Adaptor, which seamlessly bridges
your PC to your LCD TV or projector in your living room. PPbox gives you easy access to your
photos, videos, and music files stored on your PC, and share them with your family and
friends on the big screen. You can also operate your PC on TV with the remote control or via
standard USB mouse and keyboard.
With its advanced processor and networking performance, PPbox is a perfect companion for
high-definition TVs. PPbox smoothly plays 720p HD videos via WiFi connection, and up to
