Motorola intros live streaming device

Motorola has unveiled a home device that could eventually help the so-called 'cord cutters' to detach from their set-top boxes and watch what they want to watch whenever they want to, reports Pad Gadgets.

The new device, called Motorola Televation, will let users stream live TV to IP-enabled devices. That's correct, if one has an iPad, a connected TV or any other gadget, they will be able to stream TV content to their devices via their home network.

To use the Motorola Televation all one has to do is plug in the device into their cable coax and WiFi router, and the device will automatically allow them to stream TV content to the connected devices around the house.

According to Rethink Wireless, Motorola says it worked closely with engineers at Comcast Innovation Labs to develop Televation, which implies that Comcast will be the first to deploy the technology.

However, no prices or timescales were given. If it manages such a deal, then it could have found a major buyer for its Xoom tablet in the same stroke, making it available to 23 million US cable homes through Comcast.
