Sony adds an Internet link to Bravia lineup of LCD HDTVs
Marrying Internet content to your television set has always been kinda an issue for the industry. Should it be done through TiVo? Cable set-top box? A Microsoft Media Center you just hook up to a high def TV? Nintendo Wii? Akimbo box? Each company has the incentives to say they have the final solution to delivering the content to the television screen, but now Sony is just putting a WiFi connectivity module to its LCD HDTVs.
| Previously, Sony announced the first of its kind BRAVIA Internet Video Link module that allows for direct television access to Internet video content, including high-definition programming, from providers like AOL, Yahoo! and Grouper, as well as Sony Pictures Entertainment and Sony BMG Music. |

The module mounts on the back of the compatible Sony televisions announced today, and connects to the Internet via an existing broadband Ethernet connection without the use of a computer. It provides access to such content as Internet video programs, music videos, movie trailers, user generated videos and RSS feeds – all without any additional charges.
