TV Content & Movies
Research shows that TV is the ultimate viewing experience for videos, including TV content and movies. At the same time, the personal computer has become the foremost vehicle for searching and downloading digital content. Until today, solutions that allow you to download on the one and watch on the other have been thorny and complex.

“SanDisk Sansa TakeTV is the most easy-to-use, straightforward solution for watching downloaded video content and other shows in the comfort of the living room,” said Daniel Schreiber, senior vice president and general manager for SanDisk’s audio/video business unit. “No confusing wireless network set-up, no wires running across the living room and no cumbersome burning of DVDs. Just use the Sansa TakeTV device to move your favorite video content over to your TV, and enjoy it on the big screen with family and friends.”, Daniel Schreiber added.
