FT. LAUDERDALE, FL — (June 27, 2005) — Video Without Boundaries, Inc. (OTC: VDWB), a leading provider of interactive, media-convergent home entertainment devices, announced today it has begun shipping the VWB MediaREADY 5000, its top-of-the-line advanced digital media center, to retailers and OEMs around the world.

As VWB’s most complete product, the MediaREADY 5000 connects people simply to all the possibilities found in their digital entertainment world. No bigger than a conventional VHS or DVD player, the MediaREADY 5000 delivers a Tivo-like Personal Video Recorder (PVR), DVD/MPEG 1, 2 and 4 playback, storage/retrieval via its onboard hard drive or PC-based home networked hard drive, electronic program guide, Internet browsing, email, MP3, WAV and CD playback, streaming video and audio, karaoke, games, and media jukebox.

Even more, for European consumers the MediaREADY 5000 also supports Freeview free-to-air digital television support based on DVB-T standards. The unit delivers a DVB-T program guide, European PAL broadcast support, and power conversion suitable for all European electrical currents.

“Video Without Boundaries’ MediaREADY 5000 is the digital home entertainment solution millions of consumers have been awaiting,” said Jeffrey Harrell, CEO and president of VWB. “With this unit, our customers will finally be able to connect all their digital entertainment alternatives more simply and easily than ever before.”

The MediaREADY 5000 digital media center uses the Linux operating system to create an open-standards product that will never become outdated or obsolete. With the MediaREADY 5000, users can enjoy a wealth of options such as recording live TV, watching a movie stored on their family room PC from their bedroom, playing hours of MP3 songs throughout the house, or answering email on their big-screen TV.

VWB’s MediaREADY 5000 comes complete with full-sized wireless keyboard and infrared remote control, 120 GB hard drive, and Firewire (400 Mbps) and 802.11 (54 Mbps) wireless or Ethernet (100 Mbps) wired support.
