Google TV and Apple TV would have you believe “…we are now controlling the transmission … the horizontal and the vertical…” in a pitch scraped straight from the intro to “The Outer Limits.” But controlling the transmission, they’re not. At least not yet. What viewers have now is an extremely fragmented space wherein only a few pieces can be viewed from any given content channel. Welcome, not to the Outer Limits, but to the Land of TV Transition. In fairness, much of the problem lies with the old guard which, as usual, is busy guarding the wrong thing.
I use the Logitech Revue in my home, and I have to say that it is pretty neat. I was the not so lucky loser of a raffle at work for the Revue, and that made my mind up for me and I bought it. I purchased it through DISH being as I am an employee and a subscriber- it made sense. I can navigate through screens easily, watch my show and search the internet as well. It was worth the $179!
