What is needed is a compliment to the systems in place; something that can combine the various services and options into one easy to use format. We think we may have found this system with GlideTV. When we first heard about it we were understandably interested. I personally have four HTPC systems running in my house. Each of these is connected to my network and a centrally located NAS for sharing videos, music and other content between them. We have subscriptions to Hulu, NetFlix, watch PBS documentaries… well, you get the picture. I wanted to know more about this technology and to see how it would fit into the modern Digital Home. We got our chance with a phone conversation that took place recently.

We spoke with Scott Vouri, formerly from NVIDIA, about GlideTV and what it brings to the table. GlideTV as a company was founded in 2008. It is comprised of engineers from Sony, NVIDIA and SageTV. This is a group of people that know how to bring digital entertainment to you. It was and is still funded by Angel Venter Capital money. GlideTV looked at the market with its new digital content trends and realized there was a gap. The services are there, the content is there, but there is nothing to bring it all together on the PC for viewing on the TV. They created the GlideTV software and Navigator remote appliance to fill this need.
