Emeryville, Calif. - Orb Networks, a developer of "place-shifting" technology that lets users access premium home TV channels while away from home on Internet-connected devices, said on Friday that it has integrated its software with a set-top box made by Futarque. The set-top will offer both broadcast programming and all of the personal media on a user's PC, delivered to a TV, with Orb's MyCasting software serving as the bridge between the PC and set-top.
