Neuros OSD Pre-Sales

What is included with the OSD?

OSD unit, stand, remote, 2 sets of RCA cables, IR blaster cable, VGA output cable, batteries, AC adapter, and instructions.

Can I use the OSD to browse the web?

Turning your television into a general purpose web browser is not one of the goals of the OSD development team. Due to the lack of a mouse and keyboard, and the low resoultion common to most televisions, TV's tend to make pretty bad web browsers. However, there are a number of cash bounties out there for people to create specialized flickr, YouTube and Google Video browsers. Stay tuned for updates!

Can the OSD view images?

As of firmware update on 8/2/07, there is a beta photo viewer. Stay tuned for updates!

Can I use the OSD to record live TV?

Yes you can. All you need to do is connect your Neuros OSD to a video source (DVR, Cable or Satellite receiver box, VCR, etc...) using the RCA cables provided. Get your video source on the channel you want to record (the Neuros OSD does not have a built-in tuner), and you are all set. You can even use the IR blaster included in the accessories to schedule recordings on different channels at different times. The IR blaster will emulate the IR signal used by your remote to set the tuner of your video source to the channel of your choice at the time of the recording.

Is the OSD suitable for average users or just open source developers?

It's suitable for both. The OSD user interface is intuitive so that mainstream consumers can make recordings, play back content, etc without even having to consult the user's manual. We even have menu-specific help screens and options menus available at any time just by touching a button on the remote control.
