Logitech Calls Google TV a 'Big Mistake'

An anonymous reader writes "Logitech CEO Guerrino De Luca spoke bluntly about Google TV yesterday, referring to it as a 'beta' product and saying that relying on it for the Revue set-top boxes was a mistake. Logitech will stop production of the Revue, and plans to implement significant price cuts to get rid of their remaining inventory. 'He said there are "no plans to introduce another box to replace Revue." Further, he predicted that the "grandchild of Google TV" might succeed but not the current product. For now, that leaves Sony televisions with the Google software for people looking for the Google TV experience.'"

Well, Microsoft is doing something like that with 360 [microsoft.com]. And they if someone have the financial muscle, and content providers don't look at them at such a bad light that they do Google.

Actually one of the features that got me to switch from U-Verse to DirecTV (besides it was cheaper) was the fact that the SD and HD channels are the same channel. If your TV is HD capable the HD channel decodes and if not the SD content decodes. What a CRAZY idea huh?
