TIVO offers movies on demand via broadband
Or, How I finally figured out Podcasting, but now I'm going to be confused again
Read the article here.
TiVo Inc. on Monday launched a trial service that lets subscribers with high-speed Internet connections download to their digital video recorders programming from the Independent Film Channel.
The service is the first of a series of broadband features that are expected to be deployed to TiVo Series2 subscribers beginning in the fall.
TiVo subscribers will be able to download the programs before their premiere. In addition, IFC is packaging exclusive content, including outtakes and other unaired footage.
Hey! That sure sounds a lot like DVD-on-demand to me!!!!
In fact, what's the diff? Podcasting lets you download "radio" content and play it back on demand ("timeshifting"); now TIVO lets you download "video" content and play it back on demand ("ibid"). Next ... transfering the "video" content to a portable device (such as Sony PSP or an upcoming iPod; or maybe your phone) so you can take it "to go."
