Just tried it on GTV/Chrome and it seems to work. There were a large number of canned videos available, though I didn't see any "live" link. PQ looked like widescreen SD but much worse than a DVD. I usually have 30Mbps download here.

I found WJAL ABC7 Washington DC. Also KTVU2 Oakland-San Francisco...their streaming picture looks better than MyDistantNetworks (248) 
Here is the link to the 9News Denver Live stream. It is 24x7 when no news is the stream often plays public interest announcements or a live feed of the studio room.
Does this one work? Can it do full screen? Seems almost HD quality on my PC.
I agree someone needs to make a master list of URLs that work. The link is below.

Yup, that works. I was looking at a live view of downtown Denver, since the news isn't on right now. Fullscreen works, and it didn't look half bad other than being kind of hazy. Perhaps their canned videos are compressed too much for my 42" screen.
Nothing at CES was encouraing to me, the Marvell demo boxes that will be powering all the future GoogleTV boxes were just as slow and apparently under powered as what we have now.
Google is making an announcement tomorrow about Google TV, I expect it will be new hardware or a new refresh/direction for the initiative.
Edit: looks like maybe everyone was expecting too much from the platform that has always promised so much... might just be an updated Youtube app. http://googletv.blogspot.com/2012/02/new-updates-to-youtube-for-google-tv.html

They have no conception of scale there. EVERYTHING is a big deal to them. (until they get bored with it or can't make it work. Then, it just sits ignored in the bottom of their toy box.)
Yeah, it's like a Youtube product manager got ahold of the Google TV Facebook to promote the app and posted a generic 'big announcement, yay!' message. Might be a big deal for them, but it's not in the grand scheme of things for the platform. What a disappointment.
Google is testing some sort of appliance though, will be interested in what that might be. They've gotten a 2nd approval I think for 100+ in-home tests in employees homes for it.
