You need to provide capability for us to turn our televisions into internet browsers.  As part of the set-top box, you should provide (either rent or sell) a wireless keyboard and mouse so that we can use the internet on our televisions.  This would not replace our computers as we would still need themm for word processing, photo editing, etc., but it would allow us to use the internet in more places in our homes.  Need a recipe in the kitchen?  Look it up online and have it right there on your kitchen television.  Want to check your internet-based e-mail from the bedroom?  Go right ahead.  Just my "two cents."

We use Widgets to bring more and more Internet content to the TV. The problem is that web sites are not formatted for the screen and input options. Keyboards and mouse are expensive and not very user friendly (the one in my living room has 3 inches of dust on it)... Last some of the set tops just don't have the horsepower to run a web browser. Nonetheless you'll be able to check email on the TV before you know it. Our plan is to optimize Internet content for the TV... TMZ, Weatherbug, You Tube are available with more to come.
