GoogleTV: Intriguing but pricey for a beta product
« on: October 28, 2010, 03:13:39 PM »
Google TV is an interesting product though not quite ready for prime time, who knows perhaps one day all these features will be built into entry level TVs. For now at least we have several decent media players such as the Patriot Box Office 1080p Media Player, Micca MPLAY-HD 1080p Media Player or Western Digital WD TV Live Plus.

Google is leaping into the television set-top box business this holiday season with its new GoogleTV software platform.

After trying one of the first models for a few days, I'd say it isn't yet worth the $300 to $1,400 that GoogleTV systems cost.

There are plenty of cheaper and simpler options available if you want to connect your TV to the Internet and watch Netflix and YouTube videos.

Technophiles wanting their TVs to have the power of a PC may be frustrated by the limitations of GoogleTV. It's nowhere near as polished and flexible as the Media Center software built into most versions of Windows and it lacks the digital video recording features of Media Center.

It's too bad because I just love the remote control on the GoogleTV system I've been testing, the $299 Logitech Revue.
