Question: Is HyperTV in its current form a two-box solution? The blurb you quoted (which states that you 'need a browser plug-in' to use HyperTV) makes it seem that the web-content is going to be sent to your computer, not to your television. I was under the impression that the web content would be used to enhance what was coming across the television screen and that you wouldn't need a computer. When they say that they eventually plan to integrate it with the multi-camera angle stuff, does this mean that they plan on making Hyper-TV a one-box solution - you just need a television to use it? Do you need a computer to use WGAT's technology or not? I am under the impression that with WGAT you toggle between viewing television and viewing internet content on the same tv. -Mike
