Now coming to your TV – channels from the web

TV company Cello Electronics is to launch the UK's first television that can stream BBC iPlayer and other web based TV channels directly on to the screen.

The company, based in Wensley in North Yorkshire, said the iViewer TV will allow consumers to stream BBC iPlayer directly through their TV sets without the need for a set top box or games console.

The iViewer connects to the internet directly through a broadband service via an ethernet cable or Wi-Fi dongle.

The TV, which is available exclusively at Marks and Spencer, will stream internet based media that was previously only available through a computer.

In addition to accessing BBC iPlayer directly, the iViewer can also stream YouTube and a number of other online channels.

It can also access a home computer so pictures can be viewed directly through the TV.

Additional online channels that can be streamed directly through the iViewer include Disney Movies Preview, Movie Rush, Autocar Magazine, Sky Sports Boots and All, the CNN daily video podcast, Jamie's Ministry of Food, Delicious TV Veg, Revision 3 Diggnation and the Larry King video podcast.
