what a joke you guys advertise something and get people excited about something that does not even exist classic vaporware! I hope this happens it would be very cool but considering the original post is 4 months ago I seriously doubt this will happen.

In theory the TV’s would be able to play H.264 video (mostly found in video podcasts); in practice the various interpretations of the standard by different content suppliers created a pretty wide gap between what should be able to play on the TV’s and what could actually play on the TVs.
The Zinc Widget for the Yahoo TV was implemented and has been in Yahoo QA for the last 4 months but, we are at an impasse, as the variety of content will not play consistently on the variety of TV codecs and firmware levels.

Are you at least looking for beta testers, those of us with the Yahoo Widget TV's can install the code as a developer from our end and at least play around with what you've created.
Hi MH,
The Yahoo Connected TV process requires Yahoo to test each widget and approve the quality of the widgets, then each TV manufacturer will do the same. Our understanding is that the Y! QA labs are VERY busy right now with this testing from many widget providers. Once the QA is completed the widget should be available in the gallery for you to install.
We will post an announcement when we have cleared this hurdle...
