Kylo and Loop are two tools for watching TV shows over the Internet.

Despite all its appeal, watching TV programs over the Internet is not one of the most pleasant experience in life. Some people have tried a lot of different things like using a laptop connected to a TV screen through a long extension cable, or using a wireless keyboard and mouse. There are many others solutions (fancast.com, CastTVOnline.com free TVOnline.com to name a few), available for dealing with this issue but two recent ones from the same company have caught thee attention of critics and reviewers. They are from a company named Hillcrest Labs from Rockville Md who has just put out two very revolutionary products that address the problem.
The first product is a Web browser called Kylo available free at Kylo.tv and refereed to by the company as " the Web browser for television." According to the Wall Street Journal, it runs on both Windows and Mac computers and has links to 128 popular Web video sites; it is still in beta mode and needs some improvements according to the WSJ.
The second product is a round shaped remote control called Loop available at Loop.com which controls the computer it is linked to and not the TV. With a simple wave of the Loop in the air, you can move the cursor on the compute or scroll down or up the screen. The Loop came out last summer and works well with Windows and Mac and sells for $99. The Loop can be used separately or in combo with the Kylo Web browser and like the later, it is a nice concept in need of refinement, according to the WSJ.
