TV’s great, you push two buttons and sit back. PC on TV isn’t, you spend the usual amount of time with multiple clicks and mouse actions and then sit back to watch the movie/TV show. Then there’s the internet streaming that may or may not work that well, higher connection speed will improve this but there’s no guarantee. If PC on TV were another geeky gadget the hit-or-miss service, that PC users seem to revel in, that would be fine. Unfortunately TV is slick and useful (with a few annoyances) and is a hard act to follow. Vomitting your PC content onto the big screen isn’t the way to go at all. All manufacturers need to be aware the two systems work very differently and a whole new hybrid system of interaction is required.

That said, I was disappointed Apple haven’t released a USB iSight and an iChat function and let’s see if the Euro iTS video rollout will bring extra features and better quality content.
