EWAN Embeds Set-Top Boxes with Proprietary 300 Hour Digital Recorder to Coincide with Launch of Global IPtv Service eWAN1, Inc. (Pink Sheets:EWAN) announced today that the Company has embedded its proprietary 'EVO' 300 hour digital video recorder into their "Triple Play" set-top boxes, the DMC 200 and DMC 300, to coincide with the launch of eWAN's global Internet television (IPtv) service on April 19, 2006 and the roll-out of its "Triple Play" set-top boxes in March 2006. Recording content without videotape and bundled with features including 'pause', 'rewind', 'slow-motion' and 'instant replay' of live TV, eWAN's global IPtv service will initially offer consumers 75 channels of High Definition (HD) clarity "On Demand" content delivered to their television screens via any broadband connection.
Similar to offerings by TiVo (NASDAQ:TIVO), eWAN's 'EVO' allowing users to record two shows at the same time and/or record one show as another is being watched. It also enables users the ability to store and play digital music and the ability to store and manage family photos as well as other media. Because eWAN's set-top is measurably smaller than current product offerings being supplied by cable and satellite companies, the product can be transported from place to place and can be used through television set as long as broadband connection is available.
Through its recently acquired cable company, ClearWave Broadcasting, eWAN will be the first to launch true IPtv service on a global basis. Direct Connect, a wholly owned eWAN subsidiary, will provide traditional broadcast television to subscribers who will be able to select channels and networks of their choice, including such popular networks as CNN & HBO, subsidiaries of Time Warner (NYSE:TWX), Showtime, a subsidiary of Viacom International (NYSE:VIA) (NYSE:VIA.B), ABC, a Walt Disney subsidiary (NYSE:DIS)) and ESPN, an 80/20 Joint venture between ABC and The Hearst Corporation, amongst a host of others. The set-top box is pre-bundled with a monthly subscription for the channels of content that consumers will be able to order online and from local retail channels. The offering also includes Internet, telephone service (VOIP), data and video capability, and a host of other highly coveted features, at a price point approximately one-third of that now charged by existing cable or satellite companies. Based on initial indications of interest, eWAN has recently revised its worldwide unit sales projections for the first year of production upward to 250,000 set-top box units.

eWAN1 to Launch Global IPtv Service With 75 Channels of Broadcast Television Wednesday February 15, 8:30 am ET
SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 15, 2006--eWAN1, Inc. (Pink Sheets:EWAN - News), today announced that the Company will launch their Global Internet television (IPtv) service on April 19, 2006, offering consumers 75 channels of high definition clarity "On Demand" broadcast content through their television screens via any broadband internet connection. EWAN also announced that it anticipates roll-out of its proprietary wireless "Triple Play" Digital Media Center set-top boxes in March 2006, to both US and International consumers. ADVERTISEMENT
Through its recently acquired cable company, Clearwave Broadcasting, EWAN will be the first Company to launch true IPtv service on a global basis. Direct Connect, a wholly owned EWAN subsidiary, will provide traditional broadcast television to subscribers who will be able to select channels and networks of their choice, including such popular networks as CNN & HBO, subsidiaries of Time Warner (NYSE:TWX - News), Showtime, a subsidiary of Viacom International (NYSE:VIA - News; NYSE:VIA.B - News), ABC, a Walt Disney subsidiary (NYSEIS - News) and ESPN, an 80/20 Joint venture between ABC and The Hearst Corporation, amongst a host of others.
Scott Kettle, EWAN's President, commented, "We are well ahead of our competition in terms of the sheer scope of our product offering. Our DMC set-top box is one of the first wireless set-top boxes on the market, comes with a keyboard and enables our subscribers to use their TV sets as computers to surf the Internet, process their emails, manage their family photos, as well as all other uses they now perform on their PC's. We believe that Global IPtv represents the 'missing link' that will foster global growth of converged devices in the home, transforming the living room television screen into an all-in-one utility for entertainment and communication."
EWAN's wireless "Triple Play" Digital Media Center, which gives subscribers the ability to deliver high definition programming over "non-HDTV" televisions, comes pre-bundled with a monthly subscription for the channels of content, which consumers can order online and from local retail channels. The Company is forecasting that approximately 250,000 set-top box units will be sold worldwide in its first year of distribution.

What's the story on this one? Just got an email from Lebed on it.
Looks good in terms of their technology, but what do you think of an OS of 250mil?

I'm thinking the charts don't look good at all. And their DVR was created way back in 2004. Makes me wonder why we're here two years later and they haven't marketed this really yet.
Not trying to down it... I'm actually thinking about it for a quick day trade just because Lebed is pumping it... but it's definitely a short term IMO.
Carefull here... I'm researching it now. I'd like to see what others think, but I'm thinking the charts don't look very good at all. This may be a great play only because of Lebed, but dunno how much promise this has otherwise.
Thoughts?

High O/S that is why it stops at .085, I actually just sold my position today and switched it to their partner RMDG, from what I can tell their O/S's are about the same around 200 million. But EWAN looks great, just kind of stalled, we will see if Lebed can get it going
