Orb



    Orb allows you to stream content to almost any device. I installed it so I can stream to my iPod Touch.
    I purchased the 8 gig version of the iPod leaving me limited room for videos and music. Now that I am streaming content I only upload a few things to my iPod. (Allowing me have some content while I am not connected to a WiFi connection.)
    Another advantage is not having to convert my videos to to the iPod format and size. This saves me time and disk space by not having duplicate videos for my WDTV and iPod.
    When the PC with Orb installed and the device your using to connect to the stream is on the same network Orb streams through your network not eating up your bandwidth. Comcast users will love this since it will not count against your 250 gig monthly limit.
    Orb is working well for me.
    It is free to install on your PC and use through the web. There was a 10 dollars cost for the Orb Live iPod app. Your supposed to be able to stream live content like TV to the iPod. Since I do not have a TV tuner card I am unable post on whether this works or not.
