British electronics maker Cello (http://hd.engadget.com/tag/cello) has announced iViewer, a line of LCD HTDVs available in £399 ($650) 26- and £499 ($815) 32-inch models that will directly stream BBC's iPlayer (http://www.engadget.com/tag/iplayer), no silly gaming console (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/14/bbc-redoubles-its-wii-efforts-with-dedicated-iplayer-channel/) or set-top box required. It'll also stream a variety of other digital channels, including YouTube and American CNN -- so why is it that Americans still can't stream content from the Beeb? Sets will be selling soon exclusively at Markes and Spencer stores, and they would have been available months ago if not for a delay thanks to an unidentified but apparently American chip maker. Sure, blame the US. Everything's our fault.BBC's iPlayer streams to Cello iViewer HDTVs, those iElsewhere get iNothing (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/bbcs-iplayer-streams-to-cello-iviewer-hdtvs-those-ielsewhere-g/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Wed, 09 Dec 2009 09:56:00 EST.
