Just a few days ago, we told you that SyFy.com was now blocking Google TV devices from accessing their content after weeks of being one of the few networks to still allow it. It now seems that Fox is the next network to join the Google TV blockathon, as confirmed by the photo above.
Google has been having issues getting the major networks to come along for the Google TV ride, with NBC, ABC and CBS also blocking GTV devices from streaming their content. So it seems the number of networks that DO still allow Google TV users to watch their streaming content is quickly evaporating.
As it stands, Comedy Central, PBS, TBS, TNT, Bravo, Spike, and USA are about the only major networks that haven't blocked Google TV. Perhaps one of these will be next…

So Google just sucked up and re-streamed the content and did not have content deals with anyone? Love you Google, but if this is what you did, not to cool on your part.
Why should they? o.O
What difference does it make if you stream to PC or to a different PC-like box?
Valid point. I guess there is no difference; I agree with you.
I think it is because I can just attach my computer to the TV and do the same. If Google is re-branding and re-formating then they should have permission. If they are just a “PC” then it should not re-brand and re-format.
Don’t get me wrong; I hate cable and want it all online. I cut the cord a while ago and have been very happy. I use Netflix (pay), Hulu Plus (pay), Ustream (free), and over the air programming for my TV needs.
