ZeeVee's ZvBox spotted, demonstrated on video

As the release date for ZeeVee's ZvBox draws near (we're hearing July 31st), the company is out and about in an attempt to drum up demand as the run-up to its launch progresses. During CONNECTIONS 2008, ZeeVee was in attendance with a ZvBox on display, and aside from snapping a few telling photographs, the folks over at eHomeUpgrade were also able to capture a couple videos to give you an early feel of its capabilities (and limitations). We don't have to tell you where the goods are, but if you're new here, that read link down there is a good place to start.

Looks like a cool device. Curious what it does. Would be nice if the read link went to an actual page and not just a forbidden page. Looks like ehomeupgrade.com is down.

I'm a little confused about how this is supposed to work. It's passing HD over coax. If I have coax running into my set it's probably connected to a cable ready tuner, which generally doesn't support HD resolutions. It could be connected to an antenna input and ATSC tuner, but that's not specified. Anyone know how this works?

Your TV needs to have an ATSC/QAM tuner. QAM is the key part. If your TV can pick up the unencrypted digital signals from the cable company, it will also work with this device.

Looks pretty cool I guess. What does it do exactly?
