Streaming Video: Sweet, Sweet Flash Coming to Your HDTV, via Intel
Ha. And just as I posted about earlier, the Intel boys are teaming up with Adobe for the very things I discussed in a previous blog post an hour or so ago. Internet video streaming, not to a PC mind you, but STRAIGHT into your TV, and at HD quality. Yeah, it's about time, really. With the price of HDTV sets barrelling well below the $1000 mark, it's no wonder that the idea of streaming internet video(read: free video from the internet) is becoming a hotter concept by the minute. As it is, I setup the Xbox360 to stream HD content from various sites using Windows Media Center and Play-On, which I highly recommend. Play-on for the Hulu capabilities, and Windows Media Center for it's Youtube content among other things.
The only problem is what I alluded to in the earlier blog-post, Comcast(and other ISPs) are beginning to limit users who pull too much of their bandwidth in a given timeframe. It's a shame, really. You are already paying a lot of money for the service, and now they want to limit it. Nice one Comcast. Welcome to my Hate List of 2009. Heck...
Welcome to the TOP of my Hate List for 2009. And so quickly, too. Quite the achievement.
