RSSDivX finds its way into another HDTV, in a likely IPTV move

Samsung has announced that its first DivX Certified flat-panel high-definition televisions will be available in March. The company announced a licensing agreement with DivX last year. DivX is digital video technology that lets users create and watch content, and only a few years ago was relegated to the task of making ripped videos smaller on PCs' hard drives. But since that time, the company has made a surprisingly reliable video compression format, at least for IPTV. Having the Samsung HDTVs certified by DivX means consumers can play back high-quality DivX video on their displays. Samsung already has a range of existing DivX Certified products including DVD players and mobile phones, but this is its first digital television. According to DivX, LG already has a number of DivX Certified digital televisions, as does HP.
