What is NeTV

Looking to develop on NeTV? See [NeTV Developer Info]!

See [here ] for a movie describing NeTV's basic features.

NeTV is designed to work as an add-on to video sources like Boxee, Revue, Roku, PS3, Xbox360, DVR, DVD, set top boxes, etc. It sits between these devices and the TV. NeTV's key benefit is adding push delivery of personalized internet news on top of all platforms in a non-intrusive and always-on manner. By being platform agnostic, NeTV enables you to add apps to any system configuration without having to throw away your existing hardware investments.
