Meedio has enabled their award-winning Meedio Essentials and Meedio TV applications with DivX Connected technology that allows users to access and control digital photos, music, movies, TV, news, weather, and games from inexpensive DivX Connected devices such as networked DVD players.

"Meedio creates extremely versatile and popular software for PC-based home entertainment. We are very excited to be demonstrating Meedio's software on DivX Connected consumer electronics devices," said Bill Holmes, Vice President of Consumer Electronics at DivX, Inc.

"Meedio is very pleased to be working with DivX to bring robust digital content to consumers throughout their home using affordable consumer electronics devices. The DivX Connected Program is sure to revolutionize the landscape of the digital home," stated David Brott, CEO of Meedio.
