A Powerchannel set top box just came across my desk. I have never heard of this before, and the website makes it looks like the service has not been launched in the US yet.

Since it seems to be a UK company, does anyone know what this box can do? I would be interested to know if it can work independent of the Powerchannel service. It seems like a WebTV sort-of thing.

This is the US version, although it came in a UK box. The model is PCTV 750/US. Someone in our factory paid $20 for it from someone selling them in New York (presumably on the street). It looks like it has a smart card slot, but the package did not come with one. Any ideas?
