Award-winning video browser for the living room gets significant facelift;
adds Netflix, CBS and much more content from leading providers

LITTLETON, Mass., March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- ZeeVee today announced the
much-awaited update to Zinc(TM), its popular internet video browser for the
living room. Zinc, formerly known as Zviewer, helps users navigate any popular
high-quality internet content through a single, living-room friendly user
interface that is designed to be operated with a remote control and viewed on
the "big screen." Zinc was recently honored with a Gold TechHome Mark of
Excellence award from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA).

The new release adds a significant amount of content from existing providers
to its on-demand library, as well as the addition of Netflix and CBS to the
lineup. There are now nearly 15,000 feature length movies and tens of
thousands of TV shows that can be watched instantly. 

Zinc also has improved navigation and usability features, making it easier and
faster to immediately enjoy internet video. Detailed show descriptions,
release dates, ratings and other new information have also been added, so
users can make informed decisions about what episodic content to watch, or
what new feature-length movie they should select. Users can also declare
favorite shows and websites, and be informed when new content is available. 

"The team has been working very hard to improve the Zinc user experience, and
we're really proud of what we've accomplished," said ZeeVee Co-founder and CEO
Vic Odryna. "Feedback about this new release has been very positive and we are
anxious to have more people try it and share it." 

Zinc is a free software application that runs on practically any PC. It allows
users to enjoy internet video on their computer or on a 'big screen' for those
that have attached their computer to a large display. Mac support is in
development and is expected to be released by the end of April. Zinc is based
on Mozilla technology, and is available either as a standalone application or
as a Firefox plug-in. Zinc can be downloaded by visiting
