.The BRAVIA Internet Video Link (BIVL) is a small module that attaches discreetly to the back of a selection of select Sony BRAVIA LCD flat-panel television models, and seamlessly streams on-demand entertainment via an existing Ethernet connection including movies, TV programs, your favorite YouTube videos and a variety of other free content as well as news, weather and traffic information without the use of a personal computer. A broadband connection of at least 2.5 Mbps is recommended. Content is easily navigated with Sony’s Technical Emmy award-winning Xross Media Bar user interface.We should say something about what the BIVL is not. The BIVL does not give you access to the full internet on your television, but it does give you access to a large number of rich media channels, including some video-on-demand, some of which are exclusive to BIVL. Access to all of the channels is free, although there may be a charge for some of the content available through video-on-demand channels (e.g. movies). At the time of this writing, the content available via the BIVL includes:
- Amazon Instant Video -- Watch more than 50,000 movies and TV shows for as little as $0.99 each (Learn more about AVOD on BIVL)
