Netflix To Stream Internet Video, Movies Directly To TVs -- Netflix -- InformationWeek

Netflix To Stream Internet Video, Movies Directly To TVs -- Netflix -- InformationWeek: "Netflix and LG Electronics will deliver rental movies and TV series directly to TV sets, sidestepping the well-known red envelopes used by the DVD rental company.

The companies announced Thursday that they will develop a set-top box that will allow users to stream movies and other content from the Internet to HDTV sets.

Netflix, which began to allow users to stream content to their PCs via the Internet last year, said the new system would bypass PCs. The companies said a networked LG player will be released to market by the second half of this year."
