Best Buy unveils Insignia Connected TVs with TiVo interface, Chumby widgets

Best Buy will begin selling Insignia Internet-enabled TVs with TiVo-powered interfaces and Chumby online widgets. The official availability of the products confirms most of the leaks originally reported at Zatz Not Funny .

The new sets, available in 32- and 42-inch sizes for $499 and $699, respectively, are the first fruits of the TiVo-Best Buy deal first announced in July 2009. As expected , the TVs do not include built-in DVRs; rather, they utilize the same interface found on TiVo's products, which Insignia has tweaked to maximize simple setup and ease-of-use.

The initial Internet apps offered on the new Insignia TVs are Netflix, YouTube Leanback, and Pandora, as well as CinemaNow and Napster (the latter two, like the Insignia brand, are wholly owned subsidiaries of Best Buy). Viewers can use the unified search interface to scan content across all of the video services (another featured borrowed from existing TiVo DVRs).

Also onboard is the Chumby app platform, which comes preloaded with seven TV-optimized widgets: Twitter, Facebook, Photobucket, Accuweather, Reuters News and Sports, Stocks, and Traffic. Insignia reps told CNET that users will be able to download and install any of the hundreds of other available Chumby apps as well. However, those apps are currently optimized for the tiny touch-screen interface found on existing Chumby products ; the hope is that the developer community can quickly re-engineer the most popular Chumby apps to offer the best possible experience on the TV screen.

Except for the difference in screen size and price, the two initial Insignia Connected TV models offer identical features and tech specs. Both are 1080p LED edge-lit LCD panels (non-3D) with 120Hz refresh rates, offer four HDMI inputs (plus one VGA), built-in Wi-Fi (dual-band 802.11n), and are backed by two-year warranties.

There are also a couple of other unique features that speak to Insignia's "easy to use" pledge for the new Connected TV line. A fairly sophisticated universal remote is included that controls the TV via Z-wave, a radio frequency technology that doesn't require line-of-sight. The remote can also be programmed via the TV's onscreen user interface to control up to three other devices in the home (via infrared)--say, a cable/satellite box, disc player, and audio component. The idea is that a natural language onscreen interface is much more approachable than plugging in a string of random numeric codes--the standard operating procedure when programming the sort of standard multibrand remotes found on many competing products.
