Thanks for the info kourosh and Chris. I'm confused about the difference between Applicast and Viera Cast technologies, announced by Sony and Panasonic respectively for most of their 2009 ranges - including V5500. Is it essentially the same (or similar) technology? I'm excited by the continuing move towards convergence of computer/TV/internet, and want to make the best choice when I buy my new TV in a few weeks. My first concern is to get a great HD image though (Freesat, French TNTHD and Bluray)
Can anybody help with a basic evaluation of what they understand about the two *cast technologies, the possibilities and the limitations ?
