    I;m not sure they exist anymore as so many devices do the same job. Have you a PC? You can usually connect this to the tv. Like boxee above there's also apple tv and other devices such as the wii. I think they all squeezed out the device you're talking about

    Buy a laptop on adverts ie, pentium 4 cpu, cdrw, 500meg ram 130 approx, make sure it has tv out port , though unless you have a hdtv ,i ,d not advise you to read text webpages on an old crt .
    an sdtv would be ok for dvds or youtube ,if you are on a budget.is the tv a hdtv?

    i know what you are talking about its not that,it was just a small box that sat on top of your tv and connected through on of the ports and you could browse the net with it thats all it done,i cant remember the specs exactly but it was quite powerful......at the time:pac:
