What is the EVTV?

The EVTV home theater PC redefines home entertainment by bridging
the digital divide between your existing equipment and the next
generation of Internet-driven set-top devices. Augment your home
theater with the versatility of Element, an Ubuntu-based OS
designed from the ground up for your high definition TV.

While the EVTV may look like a DVD player or cable box, don’t let
the case fool you. Underneath the hood is a beast of a machine
ready to render movies and games at full 1080p, digitally evoke
your music library and connect you to all the sights and sounds of
the Internet from the comfort of your couch.

What is Element?

Element, is a Linux-powered open source operating system developed
with your television in mind. Element features an innovative across
the room ‘ten-foot user interface’ designed specifically to be
connected to your HDTV, allowing you to enjoy a digital media and
internet experience from the comforts of your own living room or
lounge.

Element comes stacked with familiar software and easy addons such
as the Firefox Web Browser, XBMC Media Center, Hulu.com Video
Desktop, and Boxee TV. You’ll also find a music player, image
manager, cd/dvd burner, video encoder, torrent client, and more all
adapted to Element’s easy viewing interface. Thousands of
additional apps and games are freely available online at the
