Toshiba has demonstrated a TV powered by a version of the Cell processor used
in Sony's Playstation 3 games console.
The Cell TV, demonstrated at Japan's CEATAC show, is expected to launch next
year and offers instant switching between your favourite channels because it can
decode several broadcast streams at once. Processing delays usually cause a lag
of around a second between channels.
It is said to be able to decode eight channels simultaneously, though the TV
would need eight tuners to enable this.
The Cell TV is also able to screen 48 video streams from a hard disk,
according to
a
report in EE Times.
