OmniBox

Saw the Omniverse Omni Box in the Radio Shack weekly ad.

It boasts "over 800 channels of  live TV, video on Demand, local programming and more."

Best that I can figure is that it's kind of like a Roku with a more internet capability.  There's a $24.95 monthly free which apparently pays for a hulu plus subscription (or it is PlayOn).  Which is why they can boast of featuring channels from the major networks.

Funny, I couldn't find any reviews from the usual suspects like cnet, etc.  And little on amazon.com.  Only this blurb from Radio Shack.

I did a search for Omniverse and came up with this link with this description "Watch and Record over 500 LIVE TV Channels for free! Local TV too! Bigger than Netflix and Hulu and TV Catchup and Zattoo combined!"

It looks to be pretty much the same as the filmon channel.  Here's the wikipedia article.
