In May 2013 the HomePNA alliance merged with the HomeGrid Forum. In March 2009, HomePNA announced a liaison agreement with the HomeGrid Forum to promote the ITU-T G.hn wired home networking standard. The original protocols used balanced pair telephone wire. HomePNA 3.1 was developed by Coppergate Communications and was approved by the ITU as Recommendation G.9954 in January 2007. HomePNA 3.0 was developed by Broadcom (which had purchased Epigram) and Coppergate Communications and was approved by the ITU as Recommendation G.9954 in February 2005. HomePNA 2.0 was developed by Epigram and was approved by the ITU as Recommendations G.9951, G.9952 and G.9953. HomePNA 1.0 technology was developed by Tut Systems in the 1990s. It was formerly the Home Phoneline Networking Alliance, also known as HPNA. ĭevices that use HPNA technology as part of whole-home multi-media content products include Advanced Digital Broadcast, Inneoquest and NetSys.Īlternatives to HomePNA include: Power line communication, Wi-Fi, data over cable, and multimedia over coax. HomePNA promoter companies are AT&T Inc., Technicolor SA, Pace plc, Sigma Designs, Motorola, Cisco Systems, Sunrise Telecom and K-Micro. The HomePNA Alliance, tests implementations, and certifies products if they pass. HomePNA creates industry specifications which it then standardizes under the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) standards body. HomePNA does not manufacture products, although its members do. HomePNA 3.1 uses frequencies above those used for digital subscriber line and analog voice calls over phone wires and below those used for broadcast and direct broadcast satellite TV over coax, so it can coexist with those services on the same wires. HomePNA was developed for entertainment applications such as IPTV which require good quality of service (QoS). MediaTube for Mac installs and uninstalls without issues but while it is functional, it doesn't seem to offer enough to make it better than using your browser.The HomePNA Alliance is an incorporated non-profit industry association of companies that develops and standardizes technology for home networking over the existing coaxial cables and telephone wiring within homes, so new wires do not need to be installed. ![]() MediaTube doesn't come with a Help file, but it's hard to fault a program with so few features for not including documentation. Don't be fooled by the Download item on the toolbar you'll think that you can download the audio of a video as an MP3, but it turns out that you'll have to install a separate program to do this. The program's limited features include a fullscreen mode and the ability to go directly to a specific video if you know the video's URL. Having the video titles so separate from the videos, themselves, was odd and hard to process, visually. What we didn't love about MediaTube was that it shows its search results in an oddly fragmented way a pane on the left shows all the video titles, while the preview pane displays thumbnails of each video. The program is easy enough to figure out there's a search box and controls for playing, pausing, and stopping videos. MediaTube's appearance is somewhat iTunes-inspired, particularly the Cover Flow-style video preview pane. It works, but we weren't particularly impressed with its features or interface. MediaTube for Mac is a basic program that lets you search and view YouTube videos without using your browser. If you're not a fan of viewing YouTube in your browser because of Flash problems or other issues, a standalone YouTube app might be a good idea.
