(August 29, 2008) Ellicott City, MD USA -- Zipityzap.com, a free web-based internet television service, today announced a partnership with SVideo.com to supply consumers with affordable cables for internet-connected personal computer-to-television connectivity.

"We've got to get the word out to consumers that it's easy and inexpensive to connect the internet to the television" says Gerald Zuckerwar, the developer. "No expensive, proprietary box required." Almost all new laptop computers and televisions sold today are equipped for s-video, VGA, RCA or DVI connections. "All you need is a $20 cable and whatever you see on your PC, you'll see on your TV" claims Zuckerwar.

Once connected to the internet, consumers can watch over 100 free internet television and movie channels on Zipityzap. In addition, they can stream movies right to their televisions through pay services such as Netflix, Cinema Now, or MovieLink. "It's baffling to me the number of proprietary set-top boxes coming onto the market" says Zuckerwar. "Folks already have an expensive box - their computer. Just connect it to your TV and you can watch anything you want." Zuckerwar says that the future of internet television lies in web-based services, not proprietary STBs. "This will provide consumers with choice and foster competition." Furthermore Zuckerwar believes that new PCs and TVs will eventually be equipped with a built-in ability to communicate wirelessly.

Zipityzap has introduced a "Watch On Your TV" page that explains how to make the connection. After confirming the PC and TV output/input, a table provides consumers with a direct link for ordering the proper cable from SVideo.com. "SVideo.com provides great service at an affordable price with free shipping inside the USA" says Zuckerwar. "And they offer most cables with both the video and audio combined into one." A $250 device from Quartics is also available for those who wish to make a wireless connection.
