Software players for PCs/Macs, iPhone and iPad devices also come with Pause/Live functions to provide users with the option to fast-forward and rewind the content they are viewing. Users can then select channels from the integrated electronic programming guide (EPG) to watch and control their TV service through a wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi or 3G connection from anywhere in the world.

The Flow has a simplified installation process and allows TV content viewing of any channel on iPhone, Android and BlackBerry smartphones and tablets, iPads, Macs, PCs and soon on Windows 7 and Symbian devices.Īfter moving through the intuitive set-up process, Flow owners can download Vulkano apps onto their devices from or from the respective device app store. When connected to any set-top box, the new Vulkano Flow streams any TV channel a subscriber receives to mobile devices, tablets and computers inside or outside of the home. On the other hand it's more expensive than the Flow, and the corresponding mobile apps clock in at around $30.Monsoon Multimedia introduced the Vulkano Flow mobile accessory for TV anywhere. For those who need their hands held through the waters of placeshifting, the Slingbox Solo is a proven alternative, and it also lets users watch their own content via the company's Web site. Overall, we were impressed by the Vulkano Flow with its bevy of streaming-focus features and DIY-friendliness. It's a bit unsettling that at the time of this review the company's site hasn't even been updated to reflect the 2011 line of products nor is there a specific support section devoted to the Flow or the step-up hard-drive-enabled Vulkano Blast. We love its TiVo-like recording abilities and the EPG's ability to bypass laggy remote control, even though the whole implementation isn't perfect. The Vulkano Flow is a great streaming-centric device that does a wonderful job at placeshifting content to a PC, Mac, or mobile platform. The Flow player client is available for Android, iPhone, iPad, and BlackBerry devices for $12.99.
VULKANO SOFTWARE UPDATE
When we've had some hands-on time with the software, we'll update this review with iPad and Android app impressions.
VULKANO SOFTWARE PC
Just note that the PC or Mac must be turned on to do so, as the Flow player records in real time.įlow owners can also placeshift content to their mobile devices, but we weren't able to test these items in our initial review. It's tough to imagine a scenario where a user would need to record TV live to their computer, but the functionality is certainly a welcome feature, especially because it leaves us with a self-contained file of any TV program.
VULKANO SOFTWARE MP4
In the client settings, users can allocate a directory for local saving, which the client will encode in MP4 format. The PC and Mac clients (and we're told the iPad as well) allows for TV recording. The player keeps a running buffer constantly recording so that rewinding can be done instantly and not remotely. We really like the fact that users can pause and rewind live TV natively via the Flow client when being used on a PC or Mac. That said, we didn't always find the EPG to be completely accurate with times and descriptions, though some of the blame here can be directed at the channel guide content provider. The EPG is stored on the client-side, so there's no lag in choosing content. On paper, the Flow's electronic program guide (EPG) sounds like a fantastic way to bypass the tediousness of controlling a set-top box with a delay. That said, for those tapping into the Flow from outside their home network, we'd adamantly recommend a wired connection. The stream quality certainly dipped when we tried it over Wi-Fi, but by no means rendered it unwatchable. The system was able to deliver a high-quality video stream when attached via an Ethernet connection. Overall performance on the Flow PC and Mac-based players was great. The Vulkano Flow doesn't attempt to do more than advertised-and for customers who want a device focused on video and audio placeshifting, the Flow will work well.
