HDTV and Home Theater Podcast - Podcast #482: The Best HDTV Widgets

Post by arad »

An HDTV Widget is an application that runs on an Internet-connected HDTV, sometimes called a “Smart TV” or other home-theater device, like many Blu-ray players, a Roku, the Boxee Box or a Google TV, that offers functionality beyond the traditional TV watching experience. There are a plethora of these widgets, some useful, some not so useful. We’ve assembled our list of the best, or most useful, HDTV Widgets available right now.

Google TV and Amazon Streaming PROBLEMS

Post by jbowen01 »

Aside from the issues of much lower picture/sound quality and limited movie choices watching Amazon Video OnDemand does not work like a Widget....it is like watching on your PC in that when no key action or mouse movement occurs the picture goes to sleep mode....BLACK OUT while watching the Bourne Identify is a buzz kill.....

I contacted Amazon and they promised to get back to me weeks ago.....stick to Netflix or Hulu.
