Rather than watching videos on a PC screen, users can watch content from a variety of different Internet sources, including BitTorrent, on their living room TV.
At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) opening today, NETGEAR introduced the Internet TV Player (ITV2000) that enable consumers to enjoy the world of Internet videos and digital entertainment content on their living room TV.
The Internet TV Player streams content from popular video streaming sites such as BBC.com, CNN.com, ESPN.com, EuroSport.com, NBC.com, PGATour and TMZ.com, as well as video powerhouses YouTube, Google Videos, Yahoo Videos, and MetaCafe. Being Hulu or TVLinks capable would also be a big plus, but no word on if it is compatible these sites as well.
NETGEAR’s Internet TV Player supports streaming of live TV broadcasts from Internet sites around the world, and premium, paid movies on-demand.
Users will also be able to download videos from BitTorrent tracker sites using its built-in BitTorrent capability, putting a world of FREE content at their fingertips.
Slightly larger than a deck of cards, the compact Internet TV Player connects to the home network and the Internet via Ethernet or wireless USB adapter. It does not require a PC to play Internet video, nor does it require installing any PC software or setting up file sharing or firewall settings.

The NETGEAR Internet TV Player (ITV2000) is expected to be available in early Summer 2009 through leading retailers, e-commerce sites, and value-added resellers, at an MSRP in the U.S. of $199.
