Google TV

hello,

does someone has any infos about Google TV? Will it run on the newest Philips TV? Is there any chance that Philips will adopt these technologie and when? Or must I move to Sony?:(

Hi Frank,
All I can find about Google TV is that you need a special settop box and that is not available yet. I wonder if you can use this for free or if you have to pay for using it. Will it support all the local catch-up TV programs in various countries or is this USA only? It seems you can simply “google” the internet for playable video’s so that looks promising. Is there a PC-version where I can try Google TV?

Net TV is free and the amount of services is growing. Today it is the best you can get in a TV, I suppose?
What brands offer more internet functionality in a TV that I can buy in a shop today?
Regards, John.
Google TV explanation

Samsung has now build a Net TV like service. But they still have less services/applications. Samsung

at the moment net tv is the best solution to bring internet to tv. especially it's open url input.
but i think google tv is going further. they want to offer all their services in a tv readable format and make it possible to control them with a tv remote. that is what i want. a seemless integration from the web (and other network recources) into tv. as far as i found sony will be the first and only who integrates google tv. i think they need some kind of pc technologie in their tv's to make this happen. in the moment the service will be available only in the us but i think it doesn't take long to have this in europe. google has much experience with android, chrome and chrome os so google tv is a born winner. and: it doesnt' matter very much that i have to pay 2,500 without a atom pc inside or 2,600 within. see also http://www.fastcompany.com/1603110/p...evision-google
