The Future of Television is Here: Just rearrange the furniture

I've written about this before, but for anyone who may have missed it Miro (formerly called Democracy) is now on version 1.1. Miro bills itself as "Free and open-source, because media matters" and it does more for your computer than Tivo does for your television.

Miro

Plays video in Quicktime, WMV, MPEG, AVI, XVid and more

Provides free HD content

Allows you to subscribe to anything - Youtube channels, RSS Feeds, podcasts etc., etc., at last count there were 3,440 free channels with more coming online daily.

It will even allow you to download torrents so that you can subscribe to the shows that you watch on traditional television

This is how television is going to work in future, the only large remaining difference is that the monitor will be larger and in front of your couch.

You can download Miro for free for Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, Ubuntu and more at getmiro.com/download/
