I'm assuming it just plays the game on their servers and streams you the video of it. Ew, just imagine the input delay.....

I watched the video...seems as though it allows you to view live streams of games people are currently playing, and if you are playing and have the onlive hardware device you can stream your own footage for others to watch. Kind of like a live streaming gaming community/database on a large scale...IF people use it

They said you don't have to download or buy or receive the game in any way, meaning it's running on their servers and you don't own it at all, you're just sending your inputs and watching it being played on their comps.... lame.....

I watched it with no sound...and it seems you can send your footage for others to view or watch live footage from any game you want. Seems kind of like Youtube for live gaming feeds...IDK, I'm at work so from my quick look that's what I got from it

 It requires a browser plug in so there is a download, and to use it on TV You would have to purchase their 'micro console'
