【】The top 9 shows to watch in 2017

While you can connect more content and devices to your TV than ever before, a new problem is emerging: you need a roadmap to navigate all your disparate set-top boxes, dongles and sticks connected to your TV's rapidly filling HDMI ports.。

A new solution to this overcrowding is Caavo, and yes, it's yet another set-top box, but don't hold that against it. The point of Caavo is to connect all your devices -- including your DVR -- through a single gateway so you can call up all their content within a single, seamless interface.。

The team behind this überbox includes has lots of product experience (one of its founders worked for Dish and Microsoft) as well as the man who invented the Slingbox (although he passed away last year). They unveiled Caavo at yesterday's Code Media event after two years of under-the-radar development. 。

Once everything is connected, the platform can perform auto-search for content across platforms via the capacitive touch remote control, which also offers voice control and Amazon Alexa compatibility. 。Uniting all your disparate content sounds like a steep task for one box, but Caavo has a brain to match its brawn —

reports that the box runs on a unique AI system that simulates a human user by using machine vision to jump from program to program, a system the device's makers are calling “visual analytics,” or VA for short.。
