MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/19/09 -- Verismo Networks announced that its VuNow Internet TV Platform won a 2008 Consumer Excellence (CE) Award from Audioholics. The prestigious CE awards recognize the most advanced and forward-thinking products that will make an impact in the coming year.



Verismo's VuNow VN1000 HD won top honors in the highly competitive Media Players/Streaming category. This award by Audioholics is the most recent recognition for VuNow, as the platform was recently voted "Best New Product Idea" by cable technology executives at the CableLabs Technology Forum.



Freeing the vast amounts of Internet video from the limited display of a computer, VuNow enables users to easily watch and enjoy a broad range of online video content on

their television. The palm-sized device connects to a TV like a DVD player and allows users to browse, search, and select content with their remote.



Through numerous partnerships, Verismo offers the widest selection of Internet video for the TV, including movies, YouTube™ videos, live TV channels, as well as access to personal media (such as video, music, and photos) from the home network or USB-enabled devices.



"Each year, the editors at Audioholics scour the consumer electronics landscape to identify the very best products for their readers," said Dhaval Ajmera, Executive VP at Verismo Networks. "We are thrilled they selected the VuNow VN1000 HD and honored to be included with other top performers in the home theater and A/V industry."



Ajmera continued, "Since its release, the VN1000 HD has garnered praise and a loyal following from industry experts, broadband executives, and the general public and we're looking forward to bringing additional value to our customers and partners in the coming year."
