Sony Bravia Internet Link Gets YouTube, Panda Sneeze Still Lame in HD

YouTube, Wired.com and Crackle have all added their content to Sony's Bravia Internet Video Link, the pricey $300 add-on that streams video to Bravia TVs. This is a major upgrade, as the content previously available through BIVL was thin to say the least. Now you can use that beautiful 1080p set to sift through the cesspool that is YouTube, never missing another office freakout or Wii Fit demo while you're away from your computer. Or you could always watch videos that you've made on your own. As for us, we'll buy into the BIVL concept when it has Amazon Unbox or something else for long-form decent quality streaming movies.

Hulu Private Beta Goes Live Tonight; Will YouTube Blink?

The bastard child of News Corp. and NBC's love-hate relationship with GooTube, Hulu, is making its public debut this week, with the private beta going live tonight. The log-in form's already up, but those of us at Giz who've signed up for the beta haven't gotten our invites in the mail yet, so we haven't stuck our foot in the front door. Hulu's YouTube-killing voodoo is supposed be the fact that it's going to be awash in full-length episodes of TV shows, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to The Pretender to Heroes, along with movies (The Breakfast Club!) and content from Sony, MGM and others, lojacked with "25 percent as much advertising as broadcast norms." NewTeeVee has a thorough rundown laying out most of what you'd want to know before sending your email address into the corporate mystery chute. [GigaOM]

Joost, DivX Working Together For DivX Connected Content

The DivX connected platform, which we had a hands-on with back in August, may just get an injection of Joost internet video. DivX founder stated that their two companies were working together to enhance DivX connected—which already lets you stream music, photos and video from your computer—to add a Joost plug-in by the time the platform launches in November. No specific details are known, but unless Joost gets much more content, it still doesn't compare to broadcast or cable. [Pocket Lint]

Building B Promises the One True Set-Top Box, Without Wires, PCs or Details

The do-it-all set-top box market's about to get even more crowded, the newest kid on the block coming from start-up Building B. Their hook: wireless delivery of traditional TV content in HD, plus VOD and web video without a PC. The catch: They're not so forthcoming with the details in regards to the tech it's using for delivery or prices for either the box or the service. More »

Gallery and Hands On: Sony BRAVIA Internet Video Link Box

[UPDATE: I Suck at Reporting. Changes below. ] Whoa! Sony just announced a set top box that can downloadstream HD video and audio over the internet for use on your TV. Free! Free? Of course, any system like this is only as good as its content—Sony's is coming from AOL, Yahoo! and Grouper, as well as Sony Pictures Entertainment and Sony BMG Music. I think Spiderman is a movie you can DL. But obviously, if the service is free, and unable to bill for premium content, there isn't going to be much, other than from Sony Pictures. The system will also let people access other net content, like RSS feeds and "user generated videos" More »

Linksys Wireless-G Internet Video Camera

I love spying devices—I mean monitoring devices. What's better than catching the cleaner red handed beating your cats or eating that leftover Chinese? Not much, I say. So thanks, Linksys, for coming out with an even better Internet camera. The Compact Wireless-G Internet Video Camera (WVC54GC-UK) is small (makes sense), and contains its very own IP address, so you can attach it to any existing Ethernet or Wireless network. Other features include automated monitoring from Intamac, which lets you record the video feed, storing up to two minutes of images when the camera detects any motion. And to keep you up to date, automated alerts can be sent via text message, a telephone call or by e-mail letting you know that motion was detected by the camera. Pretty sneaky, sis. If you're not able to access a computer at that time, you can also request that images be sent to your mobile phone via MMS or as a video clip. No price yet, but look for this camera in Spring of this year.
