With the addition of an optional USB video camera, the Revue also turns your set into a video-chat monitor. You might also quibble with the lack of full universal-remote features—the keyboard can control a home theater receiver, but not a Blu-ray or DVD player. Still, in my tests with a shipping unit, I found more to like than to dislike. For starters, it was exceptionally easy to get up and running.
It also has a digital audio hookup for a home theater audio system, if you use one. The Netflix app, in particular, seems generations behind other Netflix streaming interfaces available to consumers.
For the average user, Roku offers a simpler interface and setup, plus it has access to loads of web content it just recently added Hulu Plus support. For everyone else, cheaper options like Roku will suffice. Having said that, I still believe Google TV will mature well over the next few years.
Google will eventually figure out ways to appease the TV networks and get its software integrated onto more TVs. Eventually, Google TV could replace the aging software on cable and satellite boxes altogether. Why am I holding out hope? Google is trying for something completely new and different.
Whereas other contenders in the web video set-top box arena, like the recently launched Boxee Box, are finding themselves restricted by their secondary TV input status — that is, you have to navigate away from your live TV to enjoy them.

General Newsletters Got a news tip? Logitech also offers a Mini controller as a add-on purchase. In addition, you can control the Revue and all your devices with your Andriod smartphone iPhone app coming soon , using Harmony Link technology which is exclusive to Logitech. Is it out yet and your site just has incorrect information about finding it or is there a release date for the App in the near future?
Will the Revue allow downloading of plugins like DivX, flash player, vshare, veetle, etc for watching content on websites that only offer it in those forms? The Logitech Media Player can pull results from software that can expose your personal content over your home network using DLNA, which is an open protocol to do so.
Such software is typically referred to as a DLNA server. When will Dish be selling this? Will I be able to hook up a hard drive to it so that I can download media from the web? Will we get viruses? Will the speed of the internet be as fast as it is on my computer? But if should have similar speeds. Where can I buy more of the mini-blasters. Because of th location of my devices I will need more than the one that comes with the review.
Got my Revue last night at BB, love it so far! I quickly very quickly tried to see if the Logitech Media Player could detect my Windows [7] Media Center, but no luck.
Are there more details on how this will work? Regarding the control of MCE, would this be done via an IR blaster I would place on my MCE, or are other control options available, such as commands sent via my wired network e. In item 5 it states that the Logitech Revue can handle local network streams. I have a WHS with movies on it. If not, will it stream movies via my MCE? Is connecting a USB tuner to the Review an option?
We are continually adding features in the product and will communicate if this becomes part of a future revision. Google search can search through files from a network computer or device that exposes this content through DLNA today. In addition, the USB functionality for the Logitech Media Player is being enhanced with additional improvements, and stronger integration with Google search is under consideration. I really want a revue can you please tell me an exact release date for uk as I am looking to import from us?
The harmony app only controls the tv and dvt and avr. I wish i could use it to replace all my remotes and control my blue ray and logitech slim device. It needs more actions like watch tv. Watch dvd ect. I have a harmony and i was hoping this would replace that. Will I still be able to use the logitech unit? Thanks again. I can surf the internet, but I cannot watch tv, get picture in picture.
