09.17.2009 — If your electronics don’t stream content directly to your living room, they’re just plain lazy.

TV, Blu-ray player, receiver and media server manufacturers are pairing up with content providers to cut out the middleman — that being the consumer who actually has to go to a store to get movies or music.

Manufacturers at CEDIA Expo 2009 announced partnerships with Netflix and Vudu, showing off the fruits of their collaborations.

Vudu had a huge presence in LG's booth. LG kicked off the show by announcing that it's BD390 Wireless Network Blu-ray Player now has Vudu access.

Vudu, along with Netflix, YouTube and Yahoo Widgets, can also be streamed via LG’s line of Broadband TVs. The following components represent just a sample of the digital streaming products at CEDIA Expo 2009.

Soon everyone will be connected, that is a good thing. Delivering content is what we do and connected components make the task easier while providing a wide range of possible system conbinations.

They will also make old school distribution systems a thing of the past.

You missed the best network product that I saw at the show. HD Communications In wall wireless access point. Very cool product. Just got my show special unit and configured it. Showed it to some of my customers and they love. No published prices which makes it a home run product to sell.
