Sony Offers Netflix-enabled Bravias

on 07/09/2009, filed in Home > Gadgets

Sony’s line of Internet-ready Bravia TVs now offer access to Netflix, where newer sets come with built-in support while older models will have to settle for the add-on Internet Video Link. You will be able to access the Watch Instantly queue and stream movies or TV shows straight onto the set, although it remains to be seen whether such footage is in HD or not. This update will be out later this fall, and will nestle itself comfortably between existing live services such as Amazon Video On Demand and Sony’s very own movie collection.

Netflix: Netflix Inc is an Internet company that distributes video on-demand. As of 2012, the company operated in the USA, but also in South America, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. Netflix was founded in 1997 in California and is still based in Los Gatos in the Silicon Valley. Of course, Netflix is also provides DVD rentals via regular mail, and that is actually how the company took off before becoming the entity that is said to account for 29% of USA download Internet traffic as of March 2011. Netflix is one of the largest customer of Amazon's AWS infrastructure business.
