TV Networks decide to block Google TV from their online streaming services
- dotBen 16y agotl;dr: ABC, NBC and Hulu are all blocking access to their on-demand streamed TV services when accessed on a Google TV box. ABC and NBC are claim the browser is unsupported (Google TV is Chrome 5 and is supported), although it's clearly them wanting to get a licensing deal from Google and putting up interference in the meantime. At least Hulu is upfront, and says they don't want to serve Google TV without the viewer having a paid Hulu Plus account. ---- For me this is a net neutrality issue as much as anything else. Bits is bits coming into my modem and into my house. What kind of display and device I want to use to consume the mediaon is my business and not the content providers.
