By the end of 2009, all Vizio Internet Apps TVs will offer access to eBay, Facebook, Radiotime, fantasy sports site Rallypoint, web TV service Revision 3 and Twitter, the company said. The sets will also include add-on content for Showtime programming and access to Vudu's library of HD content.

Vizio's line of Internet Apps HDTVs feature built-in 802.11n wireless networking support along with Ethernet for connecting to a home network. From there, the user can access the company's list of content providers right through the TV with the touch of a button.

Based on Parks' research, there are some 2.5 million North American broadband households that are ready to buy a web-connected TV.http://www.mediabiz.com/news/skyreport/
