Sharp has announced their new AQUOS Net system which can be used for delivering both content and diagnostic help to their range of TVs.
AQUOS Net is accessed via selected TV's built-in Ethernet port, which, when connected to the Internet, allows users to access "widgets" of everyday information from providers such as WeatherBug, UCLICK, the AQUOS Gallery, Traffic.com, and NBC Universal.
Additionally, live customer support can be accessed via the TV, ncluding the ability to have dedicated Sharp advisors connect remotely to their TV to assist in adjusting the TV's settings and optimising picture quality for the best viewing experience.
There are also online FAQs giving customers advice on setting up their system.
Though this is currently a US only service, it could easily be expanded to cover other markets.
