Google Video - How do I watch it on my TV?

Google is in the video game. David Card rightly asks, where's the advertising story? The whole thing is a little puzzling. The content can work on your PC with a Google player but only un-protected content can go on your iPod or PSP. Want to guess how much of that premium content will be un-protected? Video on a PC is not a big market. We know there's consumer interest in mobile video but at home, interest in watching video on a PC is tiny. Now, get that video to the TV set from the PC and you have another story. Without a good mobile device to support it and the lack of ways of getting video from the PC to the TV, it's hard to see how this is going to work.

There's a lot of stuff here predicated on getting content from the PC to the TV at CES but no one explains how it's going to happen. The only player with a credible story at the moment is Microosft and MCE isn't taking over the world.
