A while back I wrote about how I was looking at options to stream live television and my focus upon the Slingbox products<\/a>\u00a0but I never got around to purchasing one. Don’t get me wrong, I think the technology is fantastic but I’ve just not seen much in the way of innovation or the extension of product range for countries outside the USA.<\/p>\n

Anyway, given that my wife is going overseas in a couple of months during the time at which the Australian federal election will potentially be held she will miss out on being able to watch the live election results (it’s a bit of an event for us believe it or not). As such, I am looking at various options again and this time the Vulkano product range<\/a> has caught my attention.<\/p>\n

There are a few boxes, ranging from the entry level streamer in the form of the Vulkano Flow, the middle-tier Vulkano Lava and the top shelf Vulkano Blast. The Flow doesn’t include any storage whilst the Lava includes 4GB of flash storage and the Blast includes a 160GB hard drive. Given that we already have a Foxtel IQ2 recording isn’t terribly important but could be handy if we want to archive television shows off to our home server for future watching. I’m still yet to make a final decision.<\/p>\n

The Vulkano products allow you to stream live television to other devices including computers and iOS\/Android smartphones and tablets. You can even stream from\u00a0one Vulkano to another (although the receiving Vulkano needs to be either the Lava or Blast versions).<\/p>\n

On face value, this could be an interesting product so I will let you know if I end up pulling the trigger on one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
