The Web will just become a channel within a channel, allowing more players to augment there widgets/content decentralised fashion. This leaves Yah connected TV, connected to a niche audience for about 10 minuets. Lets face it, unless your dealing with P2P technology, TV quality will be ala youtube on your HD screen, with all these widgets baring photos does'nt teletext do the this right know?

Do you really want widgets cluttering your television screen? The idea of a television in a computer is appealing but a computer with a television just doesn't fly with me. Also slowly entering my screen i envision advertisements, cluttering my entertainment experience. With these ads taking the bottom of your screen i can imagine them slowly creeping up into your main field of view. Brad, http://bradwelltv.com/bradley This really isn’t that attractive to me.
