Looks like Sony acquired another provider for their Bravia Internet Link that connects to your Sony TV and lets you enjoy online content and this time Sony brings you … Radio with CD-quality music.
From the press release: “Slacker Personal Radio delivers millions of licensed songs and more than 100 individually programmed genre music stations, while Howcast offers up a selection of its engaging how-to videos. Both channels offer content at no additional charge to BRAVIA Internet Video Link users.
“Internet content is expanding faster than ever and Sony is bringing it straight to BRAVIA televisions,” said Randy Waynick, senior vice president of Sony Electronics’ Home Products Division. “Slacker and Howcast are great examples of new types of entertainment that are bridging the gap from an Internet experience to entertainment shared in the living room.”
Slacker’s library of CD-quality music across all genres and eras ensures that music lovers can enjoy radio stations on their BRAVIA HDTV ranging from music of the golden-era classics to today’s hottest hits. By simply linking their BRAVIA Internet Video Link to your online Slacker account, users can easily enjoy their own custom Slacker stations created online where they have fine-tuned categories to set artist, year, popularity and more. “
I am still not sure about Bravia Internet Link Module and its worth, as many users of Bravia may enjoy more content and choices by just connecting their PS3 or VAIO PC… I also think this module could have been an additional feature added on XMB menu in Bravia and be free after all…but I hear it is coming soon to new Bravias so we’ll see.
