One of the major developments that came out of 2008 was Netflix’s announcement that they would stream movies directly to your home via a set-top box or PC. Amazon and Apple followed suit with this advancement and offered similar services as well. What makes this new service different, however, is that Netflix will stream the movies directly to your TV without filtering through a set-top box or PC, meaning the service will be specially built-in to the television itself.

One of the more trenchant moments (in fact, the only trenchant moment) comes late in the interview, when Palin is invitInterview With ABC and ESPN Sportscaster Mark Jones

Remember that Feb. 17 date for the switchover from analog television service to digital? Looks like you can forget about it. Barack Obama's transition team wrote to congressional leaders Thursday asking for (read: demanding) a postponement on the grounds that Americans need to be "educated" about the switch. All they really need to understand is that the switch won't affect them: 90 percent of U.S. households get their television via cable or satellite, which come pre-equipped with converters.What Kind of Security Will This Barbarism Bring Israel?

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President-elect Barack Obama is urging Congress to postpone the Feb. 17 switch from analog to digital television broadcasting, arguing that too many Americans who rely on analog TV sets to pick up over-the-air channels won't be ready. In a letter to key lawmakers Thursday, Obama transition team co-chair John Podesta noted that the Commerce Department has run out of money for coupons to subsidize digital TV converter boxes for consumers.
