Jonas,

Sorry to disappoint you, but Google TV is exactly the contrary: a
service that integrates Internet browsing to your cable TV service. So
it's not about watching TV on your computer, but instead perusing the
Internet on a Google TV enabled device, which can be either:

a) A Sony Internet TV;
b) A Logitech Revue box; or
c) A Sony Internet TV Blu-Ray player.

All sold, of course, by Best Buy.

For TV watching on your computer, there are free services like Miro or
Hulu, but they are still pretty feeble, the selection is spotty, the
streaming quality, like it has been pointed here, is not great, and
you'll need an Intel Mac for them.

HTH,

Felix

P.S. FWIW, I watched Obama's proclamation live on my eMac, streamed by
CNN, I think.
