Tonight on NPR was a timely story about why we can’t get the internet on our TV [1]. Most of the blame gets put on Cable companies and content producers in Hollywood (and other places). For me, the bottom line is: I DO have the internet on my TV – I don’t have to wait for some company to sort it out for me.<\/p>\n

sTeVo lives on the internal LAN at home, and gets content from video feed, audio feed, Hulu, Joost, and anything else a web browser or podcast aggregator can access. That’s in addition to (digital) cable TV and DVDs. Jodi and I have fully integrated the computer and the living room.<\/p>\n

My question is: if I can do it, why can’t anyone else? Maybe that’s the best argument for why sTeVo is better than TiVo or digital cable by themselves. I can get what I want, when I want, in my living room. Oh, the open-source life is sweet.<\/p>\n
