HP to Upgrade HDTV to 2.0

HP's Media Smart TV's, seem to be a pretty good idea to me. The GUI seems well thought out and the next gen TV's promises placeshifting and more goodies. However, to throw ANOTHER confusing HDTV term out there is just BAD BAD BAD marketing. It is bad enough that we have a million different trade names, different resolutions did they really need to add that to make a few more bucks. Bad move.

HDTV 2.0 is described as adding support for place shifting, enabling content derived from Internet-connected PCs or media servers to be displayed on them, achieved through the use of Ethernet and wireless networking connections on HDTV sets. This will make these televisions more expensive, thereby bringing higher margins back to the retailer.
