Panasonic adds Netflix streaming to 2010 TVs

Viera Cast-equipped tech gets streamed movies

Panasonic extends its Viera Cast service
US owners of this year's range of Panasonic's Viera Cast TVs and Blu-ray players will find that they can now stream video from Netflix, thanks to a software update.
The new service sits alongside what was already on offer, including Amazon video on demand, Skype, Pandora and YouTube.
While UK users won't be able to take advantage of the latest feature, Panasonic says it's "constantly looking to provide the best possible entertainment experience for our customers", so maybe we can hope to see it match Samsung and integrate LoveFilm streaming in the future.
