Sezmi Says They’ve Created TV 2.0

Last year I wrote an article about what I’d like to see in the perfect video system – combining online and traditional TV. Services like Joost and Hulu are making strides towards perfection but are still a long way off. Today Sezmi has launched what they are calling "TV 2.0" and a complete solution (why they would jam 2.0 on there is beyond me A&R Edelman should be shot). The feature list is quite impressive including:

• delivering everything video in one package – traditional tv, cable, premium channels along with Internet video
• the interface is seamless between Internet video and tv and recorded shows
• remote control that can be personalized for each person in the family
• social networking aspects – friends, share playlists and rate shows with the community providing feedback

To be honest, it’s almost like Sezmi looked at my post and made that exact device. The big piece they are missing is the ability to watch whatever I want from where I want when I want. Pricing information was not provided. It does look like this isn’t a box you can buy off the shelf, Sezmi will need to partner with local cable and Internet video providers to get it working. I am excited to see the Sezmi device enter the market
