Now, a TV that streams websites direct to the screen
London: Imagine a television set that allows you to search video clips from YouTube or BBC iPlayer - now you can bring this cutting-edge TV home this Christmas. The advanced LCD set manufactured by British manufacturer Cello called the iViewer, which is to be sold through Marks and Spencer, links into the home's wireless Internet service through a dongle, the sort of device used to connect laptops to the web. It also doubles as a digital photo-frame, allowing instant access to any pictures stored on the home computer when connected by wireless link. There is also a USB port, which means video and images saved to a USB memory stick can also be viewed, Daily Mail reported. The TV is priced at 399 pounds for the 26-inch option and 499 pounds for the higher-specification 32-inch version, which offers full high definition images. The TV is the first set to have its own web link and software that is built-in to the technology. Currently, cable TV customers with Virgin can access the BBC iPlayer direct on their sets, however this service comes as part of a monthly package. It is also possible to stream the iPlayer to existing TV sets via games consoles such as the Nintendo Wii. North England-based Cello Electronics has been identified as one of the fastest growing UK technology companies.
