MovieBeam.com broadcasts digital movies to residential Set Top Boxes (STBs)
About MovieBeam.com
moviebeam was initially founded by Disney in 2002 to deliver digital movies to Set Top Boxes (STBs) at home, using the extra bandwidth of television broadcast towers. It was re-launched in 2005 with backing from Disney, Intel and Cisco, and its second generation STB reaching over 10,000 homes in 33 large US markets. It was later purchased by Moviegallery (the 2nd largest video rental chain in the US) in January 2007, which introduced digital delivery to the STB via broadband internet access.
