haha, your disdain for DUTV is becoming legendary. Well, then maybe its just the fact that it is all those things combined in 1 solid network that can deliver broadcast quality requiring far less bandwidth than any of the other sites (and this is the important part, and also the claim you disagree with)? Find me that example, and i may change my tune.

One item SageTV offers that Google TV doesn't yet have is the company's Placeshifter software, which lets users watch TV (live or recorded to a DVR) over a high-speed Internet connection on another screen (such as a laptop or a second TV set).

Placeshifter is a similar product to the more-popular Slingbox and SlingPlayer software from Sling Media, which streams video to TVs, computers and even the Apple iPad.

Sling Media is building a version of SlingPlayer for Google TV and other Internet-connected TVs, but Placeshifter could allow Google to build in such functionality without having to rely on outside companies.

Google may also be looking to beef up its cloud services related to video and TV in an ongoing cloud computing arms race against rivals Apple, Amazon and (on the business end) Microsoft.
