Internet on TV

Everybody will have different requirements for their in house living room experience. Some people like me want to watch all internet videos, internet radios on TV and home theater. Yes there are many upcoming products to address these like Apple TV, D-Link and neatgear's digital media receivers. But i can not get complete internet experience with these devices.

So, i ended up connecting my HP media center laptop to my TV + Home theater. The problem is i still have to depend on another laptop/desktop to control using VNC client. One more solution is buying Nokia N770 Internet Tablet to use as remote control. This sleek device entirely developed on linux and exciting thing is vnc viewer just works !! Even my favorite SIP client gizmo project also works, what else you need? it does not have phone.

Seems there is lot of development going on for these kind of devices..check out this open set top box..

Sasi,

This looks cool and interesting.. You seem to be enjoying a lot with the technology. Let's try to find a one-point solution for all these..Or else we can plan to provide one.
