Netgear is setting Youtube content free from the computer, allowing consumers to watch movies of backyard wrestling matches and exploding Coke+Mentos bottles from their living room TVs with its new Digital Entertainer HD.

Using the Youtube API, the appliance lets users browse and search for user generated videos directly from their living room sofas.

The $349 device is essentially a media adapter on steroids, connecting users to any audio, image and video file that is available on their networks. Attach a PC with a TV Tuner and you've got yourself a personal video recorder. It will even allow you to play music purchased from the iTunes music, provided it is stored on a computer running Windows.

Below you watch a video with a demo of the device.
