So it looks like this is "just" a television then :P

Sorry, I couldn't resist - John you are a better man than I for resisting the obvious M&S pun ;)

I got 8mb broadband, 2 laptops and 1 TV.

Someone is watching a film on youtube and im trying to listen to some online radio, the poor bugger whos left to watch some iplayer on TV is swearing at us because it keeps buffering and isn't able to enjoy eastenders.

For families such as myself who each enjoy doing different things at the same time we need 100mb Broadband then Internet TVs - not the other way around.

Internet on TV has the last priorty in my house because its a TV, watch the TV you idiot!

Slightly off topic but as you mention iPlayer here I will elaborate...

As someone who uses the open source XBMC on my HTPC to watch iPlayer stuff via a plugin I was very hacked off last week to find the BBC has quietly battened down 'security' on RTMP plugins so blocking any access to the BEEB content other than via iPlayer - THE NERVE OF IT!- No consultation with the license payer - nada.

See: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/02/24/iplayer_xbmc_adobe_swf_verification/

Now, given they already check IP addresses to block outside UK access ( unless hidden via VPN of course) they then stop legitimate watching of their service.

NO way am I buying a set with this sort of functionality only to find later Auntie BEEB has taken the huff and blocked that too!

Of course, there are ramification on any content using FLASH player and Adobe's probable desire to control its use....

Yours disgusted Railway Cuttings, East Cheem :)

Whoever designed that remote needs to be bashed on his (or even her) head with it. Even The Rain Man would struggle to remember the placement of each button.

Also for that price you'd expect to receive the 'catch-up' services from ITV and Channel 4 too. I do with Virgin Media.

It’s a little bit tricky to know what to make of the Cello iViewer C3298DVB LCD TV. On the one hand it genuinely breaks new ground for the UK TV market, with some imaginative, thoughtfully organised/interfaced and useful online content that leaves most of the more established TV brands looking a bit off the pace (though some of them, at least, are going to catch up pretty soon). What’s more, it offers this functionality at a reasonably aggressive price, and even manages to produce some likeable HD pictures. The catch is that its standard definition pictures and sound are both pretty unimpressive - issues that could both frequently rear their ugly heads in the second-room environment we suspect most people will be thinking of using the iViewer in.
