The Net is rich in capabilities and content. The average user uses only a fraction of the capability of the service. One of the most exciting features about it is the ability to view media content, not too difficult and in the comfort of your home. The Net has redefined access to films, making it cheaper, easier to view television shows, films and other media clips. Finally, there are a number of products, which download content right from the Internet and ready it for use on your tv. The most popular companies are Google TV, Apple TV.

Google TV: Released in October 2010, Google TV is the newest of the bunch and has yet to reach its full potential or capacity as an Internet media portal. Using a small box that is manufactured by Sony and Logitech, the TV finds media content on the Web and streams is right to your TV. It is set-up like an all-in-one entertainment station and allows users the ability to listen to music, view digital photos and create a film playlist for digital content downloaded to the box.

Apple TV: Apple provides a similar product, but one that has been available on the market for longer. The real difference is that you buy or download media files from iTunes or the web to your personal computer. Then, you can stream the content over to the Apple TV box, which then displays it through your LCD or Plasma television. Like Google TV, it will play HD content effortlessly and has all-in-one features for music and photo display.
