Interesting, but...I can link my $500 laptop to my TV via HDMI, so I don't quite see the point here. Sure, it's more elegant, but not quite interesting enough to catch on.

and i don't like Onlive.

I read the title as something else entirely...I wish I did not.

[citation]Vizio has taken a different route with the Co-Star Stream Player by allowing the box to connect to the user's current cable or satellite box. This allows viewers to watch live TV along with the web, apps, OnLive cloud gaming, and other streaming entertainment without interrupting what they're already watching, eliminating the need to switch to a different input.[/citation]

WTF? This is part of google TV in general. That was the whole point of the tv guide among other things. Also allowing Picture in Picture between google tv apps and live streams was always possible.

Basically, this is nothing new.
