2. Boxee's one of the best streaming boxes (think Netflix, Vudu, YouTube, MLB, as well as local AVI and MKV files from your network) already, but they've just added a $50 USB attachment that lets the machine receive live TV over the air (OTA).
3. Netflix, CinemaNow and Vudu seem ubiquitous on the smart TV sets and set-top boxes on display at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, but they're not the only companies bringing films on demand to the TV, tablets and smartphones.
4. Vizio also unveiled its VIA Plus system that integrates Google TV technology in select TVs, Blu-ray players, tablets and set-top boxes. The enhanced IP platform brings a unified user experience to a wide range of devices. VIA Plus products include
