Smart TV Getting Smarter

[redfishbluefish]

I once again must look to this site’s electronic experts for advice. As some of you know I recently picked up a Samsung Smart TV. I originally was going to buy a new netbook to connect the tv to my computer. I then hear about these Google TV boxes that do the same thing. Here are the two that I know about:

Logitech Revue


Sony Blu-Ray and Google TV


Any feedback or advice would be appreciated.

No HDMI plug on this 2009 Acer.

If your goal is to browse the web, play local media, use apps, and stream from the major streaming sites netflix etc.... and STILL have a keyboard then I highly reccomend the BoxeeBox by Dlink

basically lets you share media from your pc to your tv. it has hundreds of apps that allow you to browse all the best sites out there. crunch,southpark, etc etc..... It is easy to use and the remote is BLUETOOTH so theres no point at the screen nonsense. LIkewise the other side of the remote is a full qwerty key board that's very easy to use. Boxeebox has a good community as well so you always finding new stuff. I've switched cable to the most basic package to take advantage of the fact that the internet has more media on demand than my cable provider could EVER hope to match.
