Several sources are ‘broadcasting’ tv programs and movies via the web.

This gives the viewer the option of watching on his/her own schedule.

The quality is fairly decent; comparable to standard def TV.

Some include:

AOL’s in2tv
fancast.com
veoh.com
netflix.com

Most of the broadcast networks and many cable networks now have many of their program available online after their initial viewing on the TV/cable. Some have even pre-broadcast a new program via the web before it hit the ‘airwaves’.

Many of the newer digital tv’s have rgb/video inputs, so by connecting to a computer, one can actually access a website on the computer and view it on the tv.

TW/AOL wanted to be cutting edge on streaming thier film vault and providing full, interactive communications in the early 2000s. But there were too many corporate battles to bring the AOL brand name broadband in an effective way.

Now that AOL has become TW's 'Yahoo', T/W is again concentrating on making the Farenheit 451 vision of interactive wall screens a reality.
