Netgear bringing Internet video to your TV with the Internet TV player

The Intenet TV includes the ability to search for your content using the “vtap” search function.
Additionally, it also offers a USB port that allows you to hook up your own external drive and watch video, listen to music or browse images.
Based on what we mentioned earlier, we can expect to see the Internet TV player sometime in the summer of 2009 with a retail price of $199. Basically, this seems like a worthwhile option with plenty of options for available content, I think the biggest barrier will be the same as the rest of these types of devices — and that is whether people will be willing to add yet another set-top box to their already crowded home entertainment setup.
