    Default Internet TV

    Some say that buying a HDTV set (receiving information via cable or satellite), would now be a mistake. The Internet TV (receiving information via a browser and watching it on the computer screen), they say, is much more desirable.

    What do you know and think about this new option?

    It is a testimony based on a diary kept between 1946 and 2004 (in the USSR, Poland, France and the USA).

    The more people know about proletarian dictatorship the less likely will we experience is.

    I have a Sony and Apple TV for HDTV at home. Both work great. I also have a 30 inch cinema display my computer is currently hooked to, and a 40 inch display also that I watch from my computer. I'm of the mind that either works.

    Wouldn't the avaliable bandwidth hamper the effectiveness of internet TV? I was mulling that over myself (HDTV vs streaming Internet TV) but get frustrated when my computer slows down at peak times, there's no way on earth I'd stand for that in the middle of an episode of Castle! At least with cable or satelitte the reception is continuous (at least with cable anyway).

    As long as you buy a tv with HDMI input you'll be fine. If you have that input, you can use any number of devices to stream internet content to the tv, such as XBOX, PS3, Apple TV, Roku, even your laptop/ other computer.
