NetTalk TV to deliver à la carte HD television programming?
NetTalk hasn't exactly made it easy for the world to believe in all of its claims, but things are just getting loco at this point. The NetTalk TV has been introduced here at CES, touted as a companion device to the Duo that provides ultra-low cost digital TV service. Reportedly, the bantam box offers HDMI / S-Video / composite outputs, Ethernet and WiFi, and it'll enable consumers to receive only the standard- and high-definition content that they want. According to the company, this allows individuals to detach themselves from the high-priced cable packages that force you to pay for 50 channels (when you only need three), but here's the kicker: there are no details whatsoever provided in the press release after the break. Not even a price. We're told to expect shipments in Q3 of this year, followed by undoubted disappointment as you begin to understand that it won't be NetTalk to finally convert the à la carte dream into reality.

LAS VEGAS--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--netTALK.COM, INC. (OTCBB:NTLK), a publicly traded Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) engaged in the sales of ultra-low cost telephone service, has entered the low cost television market by unveiling to select partners and distributors its netTALK TV – an ultra-low cost digital TV solution to address an over-priced, underwhelming cable TV market.
"Pairing netTALK TV with our DUO, Conference Calling Bridge, and free Smartphone applications makes us the ultimate choice for consumers looking to cut costs and break free from traditional phone and cable companies."
netTALK TV is a sleek, glossy black, WiFi-enabled digital video device. When combined with the DUO, users can customize their TV channel selections provided by netTALK. Most cable companies require customers to purchase minimum channel packages of 50 or more channels, of which, very few are viewed by the customer. netTALK's solution allows customers to select only the channels they wish to view.
Offering both standard definition and high definition content, netTALK's revolutionary digital TV service puts their customers in control by giving them the content they want, when they want it, and where they want it. This means you can customize the TV lifestyle that suits you without the high prices associated with currently offered TV service.
The netTALK DUO sits cradled in the netTALK TV, allowing quick and easy access to both telephone and cable services. The device is designed to be a simple plug-and-play solution, making it user friendly.
Since netTALK TV is combined with the company's DUO, users can also gain access to the best phone service on the market, giving customers the flexibility and confidence they need to fire both their phone and cable companies, allowing huge savings each year.
"We, at netTALK, are dedicated to converging superior communications solutions into one low cost service accessible to everyone," said CEO and Founder Anastasios "Takis" Kyriakides. "Pairing netTALK TV with our DUO, Conference Calling Bridge, and free Smartphone applications makes us the ultimate choice for consumers looking to cut costs and break free from traditional phone and cable companies."
This revolutionary device has been unveiled and being demonstrated in the netTALK Suite 26-106 at the Venetian Hotel all week. Product availability is expected in Q3 of 2011.
