I have a sony kdl-55hx800, ps3, PC (with itunes), and the program playon. as well as microsoft media player

the 2 ways i can do it now:

1)the sony has an internet video app called "blip.tv" they host digg, but they seem to be outdated, and i cant sort through episodes easily (some show air dates, others just titles). also, blip.tv does not host tekzilla.

2)i download them in itunes in HD (on pc), then use playon (media streaming software) to stream them to the Sony tv. but for some reason itunes downloads podcasts extremely slow. and then i have to have my PC on to watch shows on my tv, or then i have to copy them to a thumb drive and play them on my ps3 or tv.

my friend has a 55inch vizio and it has a revision 3 app, which can pull up any rev3 show/episode and play it instantly. i want something similar to that, if possible. i would like to bring up the XMB of the tv and scroll down to a rev3 "channel" then select the show then episode. that would be ideal. but im not sure if i can add "channels" to the sony tv.

other notes: i also want to be able to watch tekzilla.

and i also noticed my tv has a "channel" under the video tab labeled "RSS Feeds". but there are no instructions on how to add an RSS feed. could this be an option, if so do you know how to add it?

PS3 -> PS3 Browser -> tv.revision3.com

That will give you the Vizio app style experience with a streamed video and no need to download.

Try it first, but I would use something like Vuze or WMC with an RSS feed to download the content locally and then stream it across your LAN. If you don't want to leave your computer on, then the thumb drive is still he easiest and most reliable method.

i forgot that i have slow internet (verizon dsl) which would be a nightmare to stream HD. so i am going to have to download it in full first, then either stream it, or thumb drive it to my tv or ps3. thanks for the ideas.

that's essentially what I do to watch shows on the big tv. Difference being I have webserver software on the PC that downloads my podcasts, so I just save it to the PS3 from there through the browser. LAN web has it's advantages on occasion...I think access from my PS3 is really the only thing I use it for most of the time, though.
