Time Warner Cable VOD coming to Sony Bravia HDTVs, sans the cable box

In a revelation that still has us in shock, Sony announced at CES tonight that its new Bravia HDTVs would give consumers direct access to Time Warner Cable video-on-demand. The details are very lacking at the moment but we can’t think of another example of when a cable company has allowed its on demand content to be delivered on a 3rd party device. Of course this doesn’t solve all our problems as the TVs don’t have built in DVRs so that wonderful Time Warner set-top-box will still be tethered to your stunning HDTV, but it is a step in the right direction. Now we just wait to see how well it actually works when it finally actually gets rolled out. Time Warner Cable VOD coming to Sony Bravia HDTVs, sans the cable box originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 05 Jan 2011 20:48:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink
