Comedy Central, MTV, Nick blocked on Google TV
The Google-TV platform was already fighting started after Hulu, and all major TV network devices by blocking the streaming video, and now things are getting worse.
Viacom properties including Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon and now also the blocking of Google TV, with users receive a message that the content “is not available for your device.” The loss of Viacom content is a major blow for Google TV, when shows like “The Daily Show” and “The Colbert Report” were some of the few high-quality TV shows, streaming allows. The last we checked, “Conan” is still present, but there is no guarantee TBS does not begin to block Google TV.
We felt Google TV had a lot of potential as well as Toshiba 55WX800 3D LED TV if we reviewed the first wave of products, but it is purely for the platform to get any traction, if the largest provider of content to Google Televisions block remains difficult.

Orb TV is aiming to succeed where Google TV and Boxee have stumbled
The new video streaming product is Orb Networks to allow users a variety of video streaming see on their big TV screens like on Samsung UN46C8000. That sounds like a lot of internet TV products that we have seen, introduced this fall. The difference with TV-Orb is that it be able to unimpeded access to a variety of online video sites, including TV websites (Hulu, ABC.com, NBC.com, CBS.com, and so on), the Since then deliver blocked from accessing the integrated Flash-enabled Web browser on Google’s TV products, Boxee found, and the PlayStation 3
What’s the catch? There are two right off the bat. The Orb TV does not offer HD video, and it requires users of Orbcaster server software on a Mac or Windows PC elsewhere on your home network. The Software-streaming Web video to the TV Orb, it shows on the television to which it is connected (via composite or component AV cable). In other words, you have the PC when you’re watching TV holding the Orb.
Fortunately, you do not have a laptop in the vicinity while. Browse available shows about free control of the Orb app – on Android and IOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch). In addition to the above video sites, Orb is objective, Netflix, YouTube, and CinemaNow streaming support and will also provide for streaming of videos and pictures on the host PC.
If that sounds a lot like Playon – the online video streaming from PC to game consoles and allows other TV-connected devices – it is. But unlike some less-than-intuitive navigation Playon’s handles Orb app “curation” of content, you can browse by show title on your phone tablet screen, not knowing what show is from the online video site . The other cool extra Orb offers is support for an IR blaster, so the company could TV remote control codes to add the App software, so you can switch on and change the power without the need to use a second remote.
The Orb TV hardware is similar to a large hockey puck. Network connection (on the source PC and the phones tablets as controls) to handle built-in Wi-Fi. Orb Orb supports multiple televisions in a single network, so you could theoretically be connected to any TV in the house.
Of course, the distinctive feature – also touted PC-based “screen scraping” Products like Veebeam – is that the Orb TV is “unblockable.” Since the video stream is on the PC, video sites should not be able to block access, as with the traffic directly from products with built-in browsers do not (like Google TV, Boxee, and the like). Toss in the fact that Orb TV is a pulse-friendly $ 99 price was – and to open any additional fees to access Web video sites – and you can imagine that many consumers like to see the requirement that their PC must be left on.

‘Couch Mode’ for Google TV
Video-sharing site Vimeo, YouTube has the noble, a “couch mode” is for you to sit back and enjoy movies on the big screen. It was designed for viewing on your big TV such as LG 55LX6500 55-Inch 3D HDTV with Google TV, but will work anywhere-friendly fantasy HTML5 code. Especially now that the funds Chrome and Safari browsers. To try it out, head to vimeo.com couch mode and tell your browser to go to full screen (which still does not work in Safari). From there you can view the videos using the keyboard (probably a horrible, zillion-key QWERTY remote control, if you bought an existing Google TV box) to browse video via on-screen thumbnails and even access your own videos, and playlists once you “ve logged.
It is very smooth, although a little buggy. When switching to full screen in Chrome, a video and another stuttery have not, but these are just kinks are worked out. It even works in Safari on the iPad, sort of: you get the navigation, but I was not able to play a video. The best part of writing this review was to Vimeo crosses. The films here are really worth seeing, with lots of very creative and well-made short films. The difference between Vimeo and YouTube is like the difference between a film with a fine arts theater, watching the shopping channel through a television shop window, while on a urine-soaked couch sitting and sipping Thunderbird.

Logitech Mini Controller For Google TV
Logitech has officially announced its Google Mini Controller for TV such as Sony BRAVIA KDL-52VE5 and the device is already available. If you think that it looks strangely familiar, that’s because it is basically a Google version of the classic TV diNovo Mini Logitech controller and it is a beautiful and little alternative to the standard keyboard that comes with the Logitech Revue .
The $ 130 asking price for the device will be a stumbling block for many, however, and it remains to be seen how many people are out there be willing to pay a premium for it.

Google TV At A Discount from Dish Network
Dish Network has announced that the sale of Google TV packages based on Logitech Revue set-top box. As expected, the company subsidizing the device, lowering the price of the original $ 299 to $ 179 for Dish customers, the $ 4 month to pay for the DVR service.
The review will enable customers Google TV programming features in addition to dedicated data Dish, DVR functionality and video-on-Demand (VOD) content access. To take advantage of the DVR, users need to a VIP-series satellite receivers such as the ViP 622, ViP 722 or ViP 722k have. Others may already have a Google or use Dish TV box integration, if they do not receive any reimbursement for the offer price like on Sony BRAVIA KDL-52VE5.

Fox.com Now Blocking Google TV
Google today faced another major setback as viewers discovered that Fox had SyFy and other majors combined in blocking Google TV. Those who try, Bones, The Simpsons and other shows on Fox.com Clock is an error if use of the content is “not compatible with your device such as Sony BRAVIA KDL-52VE5.” have been established Fox was regarded as unsafe, but now seemed on the Prohibition of the platform Web browser, Chrome.
The decision now leaves Google TV with virtually no access to videos of the major TV networks. Most other existing block Google TV and has objected to for safety reasons. ABC and NBC have reportedly argued that Google was not enough to filter out video pirates of the search results. CBS and the multi-service network Hulu are encouraging, rather than fee-based services such as iTunes downloads or Hulu Plus was worried.
Viewers will have the opportunity to address the videos from anywhere on the Web and launch partner of Turner’s TBS and TNT, but the movement deprived of Google’s large TV the content had to promote the service as the best of both Internet and counted conventional TV. Google has repeatedly insisted that it was not like that “cord cutters,” or those who regularly drop all TV for Internet Video. However, they contain and heavily promoted in the TV Flash browser, allowing users of the Internet and traditional TV sources, would look in the same places.
The move is also a measure of irony, as the new Apple TV has a lot more access to major TV shows studio despite the absence of a browser and the Flash. Apple treated successfully negotiated, CBS and Fox for his 99-cent-rent, but both remain intact when Google was blocked by both. Apple’s attempt to support streaming purchased TV shows and other videos from the local network, it is also wider access, where most of Google TV hardware has little to no support for the exchange of protected content from nearby computers

Google TV from Sony
Apart from actually hooking a PC to your TV, Sony’s Internet TV with Google TV, also known as the NSX GT1 series, the closest you’ll probably now one of the two converging devices. This is an advantage and a disadvantage compared to traditional TV with Internet connection, which typically rely on a “walled garden” used by applications and streaming services for the fire engine of Internet content into discrete channel streams. On the other hand, the Sony’s built-in browser Chrome – which behaves essentially like the one on your computer, aside from the inability to get videos from Hulu and many other sites – opens the tube very effectively and offers more content than the TVs. can stands On the downside, Google is threatening to TV users, soak too many decisions, and suffers from frustrating to many of the same mistakes and problems that make PCs.
The main difference between this Sony and the other two Google-TV products are available now as well as Sharp Aquos LC52D85U, namely the Logitech Revue Set-Top Box and Sony’s NSC-GT1 Blu-ray player, is integration. The Sony TV built right in the Google TV and delivers the entire game environment for a price – just add the Internet (cable TV optional). On the hardware side, Sony’s compact, thumb-centric remote control is not as easy as using Logitech, but the bigger problem to be critical viewers of TV mediocre image quality. While the Sony Internet TV is surprisingly affordable for all who can do it, and we are sure that Google’s software to develop significantly in the coming months at this point we have a hard time recommending the NSX GT1 series for each other than Early adopters who do not want to monitor a mute.

SyFy has begun blocking Google TV
Viewers discovered that started this weekend SyFy Google Televisions blocked from his site. The NBC-owned channel told users, the videos do not “currently on this device.” This is followed by blocks of other major studios, including NBC and ABC and CBS itself. Hulu has blocked Google from its free TV access since before the start.
The next most important channels of access are mainly cable stations that were either the most benefits from Internet video or launch partners for Google TV. Daily Show Comedy Central host even allows Google TV, as well as launch partner Turner channels TBS and TNT. Fox and PBS are two of the only free-to-air networks to allow full access at present.
Google has a difficult start, the platform that it originally opened as the best features of both traditional television had meant to connect to Internet access. The Android-based software has strong opposition from traditional TV providers, nor the majority of their income for TV commercials and on transfer fees, the Google TV potentially endangered by promoting the “Cost Cutter”, scale back or cancel the TV Service faced.
The new Apple TV does not have the opportunity, web browsing, but has more access to TV shows like on LG 47LG60 47-Inch HDTV, despite encouraging a switch away from traditional TV at all. Apple had its direct TV show rental selection is limited to ABC and Fox, but it can also stream shows from many channels over a local network that would be blocked on Google.
