Akimbo

media

Take a box, put a harddrive in it, connect it to the internet to get video content, connect it to the TV, sell it for 100 US$.
Sounds like a good plan these days. It’s called “Akimbo”, and the New York Times does not like it at all. And I can understand why. They have two thousand titles. Which really is nothing. It reminds me of those days when people scraped ‘the best of the internet’ on a server and put it on a plane.

Looks like the AP did a Akimbo ‘review’ a couple of days ago.
Same results.
