![CES: PC to TV devices, Internet-connected TVs](https://web.archive.org/web/20090104145330im_/http://www.last100.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/ces_logo.png "CES: PC to TV devices, Internet-connected TVs")Our digital lifestyle network blog [last100](https://web.archive.org/web/20090104145330/http://www.last100.com/) has a great round-up of the [latest announcements at CES](https://web.archive.org/web/20090104145330/http://www.last100.com/2008/01/08/ces-pc-to-tv-devices-internet-connected-tvs/). Steve O’Hear is seeing a lot of products that bridge the gap between the PC and TV, or bring Internet content directly to a television. Highlights include the SlingCatcher (Sling Media), D-Link’s newly launched PC-on-TV Player, TiVo Desktop 2.6 (TiVo), and Internet-connected TVs from Sharp, Samsung and Panasonic.

The device serves three purposes: getting content from a SlingBox (the company’s place-shifting device) onto a TV, playing back media stored on an attached USB hard drive on a TV, and viewing Internet content via a PC on a television. To achieve all of this, the SlingCatcher comes bundled with three applications. SlingPlayer for TV, SlingSync and SlingProjector.”
