Set top box.  That's the only way you'll get people watching online  
shows.  I don't know if you use the term 'set top box' in the US.  I  
just mean a box that plugs into your TV.  One that'd allow people to  
watch ordinary network shows on their widescreen tv and also surf  
internet TV.

People will not watch shows on a computer.  Do you know anybody who  
watches anything on a computer?  Other than the odd bored moment  
surfing old TV shows on Youtube?  My friends and family will watch my  
videoblog, mostly because I've forced them to by subscribing them via  
email, but they won't then go on to watch any of the vlogs I link to,  
or click on the URLs of people who comment.

Computers are full of distractions, and are quite hard things to use  
if you want to concentrate on or relax to motion picture  
entertainment.  The TV / Couch combo works.  I firmly believe it's  
just a matter of someone bringing internet video to the couch.  Until  
then, forget it.
