A C|Net article tells of a HomeStation device which is claimed to be slated for a fall release. In addition to Xbox game compatibility and DVD functionality, it is reported to have TiVo/UltimateTV like PVR functionality as well as WebTV like email and web surfing capabilities. This "report" comes on the heels of the announcement of the Moxi Digital set-top MoxiMedia Center which was named "Best of Show" at the recent Consumer Electronics Show."

No longer a hoax?? by thesolo · 2002-01-16 03:47 · Score: 4, Informative

This was first brought up several months ago in an article on The Register, but everyone widely dismissed it as a hoax.

PC Format also covered it a few weeks ago, and people still dismissed it as a hoax.

Now its on C|Net, is it still consired a hoax??? Or is it now a definite sign of things to come?
