DirecTV for the HR34-700 Home Media Center receiver, for providing five satellite tuners in one box, plus its ability to stream to RVU enabled televisions, and eventually their own RVU settop.

I nominate... ROKU... for their innovations in changing the Television landscape as many are now dumping satellite for a VOIP (Video Over IP) experience. You know you have changed the landscape when XBOX follows what your doing.

 

[JAG72]

LG and Visio for their use of Passive 3D technology.

I am going to nominate the Sling adapter. The system has become more reliable and is very useful when away from the house to be able to watch t.v. that we already paid for instead of having to pay for streaming or rely on some hotels cheap package of channels. I think this is by far the best thing people can do with their Satellite t.v. service.

One more to nominate, this is from the FTA side, Manhattan RS-1933 for providing North American based support.

DirecTV HD UI

How about the 3D VIP Theater, conversion for those with non 3D sets, it's awesome.

[meStevo]

DirecTV iPad App. Control of multiple receivers, some streaming channels in addition to the features you'd expect (favorites, guide).

 

[KenStomski]

Vulkano by Monsoon. Works flawlessly with my Directv receivers!

 

[The Fat Man]

Dish Network for buying Blockbuster and creating the Movie Pass, just as Netflix increased it's rates.

 

[isaacmorseMI]

Verizon Wireless, for putting the US at #1 for 4GLTE availability.

 

[KyDave]

Dish's Tailgater

Damn you KyDave. LOL. That's what I wanted to nominate. Great product.

 

[Scherrman]

I'm not sure if this can be nominated for an award or not but I would nominate the HBOGO and MAXGO apps. I love being able to watch all kinds of HBO shows on my iPad.

 

[Kb Cool]

The Dirt Team!!!!

LG and Visio for their use of Passive 3D technology.

I'll second this one.

I think we should have fun with a "Worst of 2011" as well.
