    Still in development but coming soon is a Mediaframe Open Source Java applet player, which will play NerdTV video right in your browser without any plug-ins.

    Incredible how that works - I usually need to use a Java plugin to view Java applets in my browser.

    Heh. I can only imagine what the MPAA's autobots are making out of that comment...

      The Autobots are the good guys. The MPAA would employ Decepticons.

    A little correction for the original poster. vi is interactive TV. If you just want to watch TV, I suggest less.
