The rising demand for on-demand video services such as Hulu and a growing array of technologies that make it easier to stream Web content on television is breaking down the wall between the PC and the TV.
New reports say the long-awaited promise of Web-to-TV video will finally begin to materialize in the next few years.
Researchers say that by 2013 the number of U.S. broadband households watching Web-to-TV content will grow to 24 million, generating $2.9 billion in revenue from streaming services.
In the coming years, Web-enabled televisions and set-top boxes will supplant game consoles as the main technologies for people to access Internet video on their TVs.
Experts say Consumers will have either an Ethernet jack on the back of their TVs to interconnect to the Web or through a Web-enabled set-top box.
The report also expects that tv viewers will maintain their cable subscriptions for live sports events, talk shows, and other programming with a short shelf life.
