The end of Live Tv is on the way

The gap between the TV and the internet appears to be closing.

Steve Borris writes that

Microsoft is closing the “last 50 feet” between PC’s and TV’s with software that supports wireless set-top boxes called “media extenders.” Microsoft’s hardware partners will provide these units for as little as $300 this Christmas season.

What this development will mean is that the technology is now in place for the Television to become an easy extension of the services on the internet,thus giving the viewing public in theory at least complete control over their viewing habits.

In the UK,this will give easier access to Internet only based programming as well as the ability to watch BBC I-player services,ITV and 4 on demand on the big screen.

Will this,along with the Sky + box mean an end to live television
