"CyberLink Live is our vision of a ubiquitous digital media lifestyle. So what we would like to do is place shift users' media so that they can enjoy their digital media anywhere in the world. Basically, CyberLink Live consists of two things. One is the server application which can be downloaded from the CyberLinkLive.com Web site. And once installed in your PC, your PC becomes a home media server. And the other part of CyberLink Live is the Web site itself."

"You can also access your TV. So if your home PC has a TV tuner card in there, installed, you will be able to watch TV."

CyberLink does have competition from Orb….and on the TV sharing front from SlingMedia. Bloomberg Boot Camp, I'm Fred Fishkin.
