One is from the Los Angeles Time “Connecting the Net with your TV set”; Feb 18, 2008. They go from television connecting directly to the Internet, which could be a do it all, to lack of interest in another set-top box, to yet three viable options for getting television over the web… set-tops from cable providers, game consoles, or televisions.

The other is from Screen Plays Magazine, “Over-Top Race to TV Gets Hot as SP, CE Players Chart Plans”; Feb 2008. Their first paragraphs says a lot in stating the question isn’t whether if will happen, but how fast. They elaborate on what is happening, and why it will happen despite current issues which will be resolved.

In any case the trend seems well worth keeping an eye on.
