The term “set-top-box” has always been annoying. Even in a days before razor-thin LCD sets, it was all but unfit to change any kind of box upon a TV. They would some-more accurately be called VCR-top-boxes, or DVD-top-boxes, since that’s where your cable-boxes would finish up.

Now, interjection to the creation powerhouse which is a ScreenDeck company, you can put anything you like up upon tip of a telly.

The ScreenDeck shelf is the elementary gadget. A span of brackets screw into the VESA mount on a behind of the TV as well as a shelf sits up top. You could put the center dialog orator up there for your home-theater setup, or even your spooky Kinect movement tracker (trust me*, somebody deep in a Pentagon has the direct line into these “toys”).

But a much improved use of the ScreenDeck would be the Cat in the Hat-style pile of boxes, teetering atop your television. A smoke-stack including your Roku, Apple TVs (1 as well as 2), your Boxee Box, Tivo, Wii, PS3 as well as your SlingBox. Feel gratis to supplement more, or only to maybe place a slice of bread top and bottom for a undiluted reproduction of Scooby as well as Shaggy’s sandwiches.

The price of this different invention is the small $40, a small cost to compensate to get all your boxes out from their neat cupboards and piled haphazardly in solid steer.
