God bless em! Hopefully Comcast is paying attention and will gradually start to lower costs–besides access, I know so many people in their 20’s that refuse to pay for cable because most of what they want can be had for free or just isn’t important enough to pay $100/month. Internet is way more important to them, and now they have […]
Read moreAnother wonderful report here, this one from a single particular site versus an actual research report. But that being said, it does make sense which is why companies are always trying to get you to stick with the monthly charges–Netflix is still doing well, aren’t they? Home Media Mag Subscriptions for online video downloads generate 20 times the revenue and […]
Read moreSuddenly life as a Comcast subscriber has become a bit more pleasant. Not sure how I missed this, but apparantly as of August 1st us Comcast folks should have access to NFL Network!! I’ll need to confirm when I get home, but that’s awesome news. Also of note here, is that apparantly Comcast and ESPN360 are buddy buddy as well, […]
Read moreI’m really not all that surprised by this report given that $3-6 additional for a set top box is pretty significant if you’re already only paying $8, especially for the rarely used sling features for most people. More people are spending time at home, so of course they’re going to want their STB to be able to take in more […]

Raise your hand if you didn’t know Yahoo even had a Video for your TV application. Ok, good to know I am not alone here. I suppose the interface isn’t horrible, and apparantly the quality is actually pretty good…but when I hear Yahoo! and TV, I just get sad that it’s not Meedio. C|Net When launched, the Video widget […]

Echostar is continuing its battle against other STB manufacturers, but this one is particularly cool given how anti-slingbox so many companies have been. Slingbox allows you to broadcast your TV signal across the internet so when you’re away from home you can watch TV from a web browser. Pretty cool if it comes to fruition. EngadgetHD Even though some […]

This will be interesting to see how it makes everything else evolve. I wonder if this will eventually expand into the US for MSN or if they will continue to let Hulu take the reigns. I think it makes sense given Microsoft’s already present connections with companies, but it will be interesting to see if this ever makes it into […]
Read moreGuess those millions of dollars spent educating consumers on the DTV switch was worthwhile…everyone breathe a sigh of relief as only 1.1% of households are not able to see the new wonderful thing called television! Nielsen The Nielsen Company reported today that 98.9 percent of U.S. homes are able to receive digital television signals, a gain of 229,000 homes in […]
Read moreIf you’re like me and have no idea what Epix is, apparantly it’s a premium TV service that offers who knows what content. Apparantly it has enough content to make it appealing to Verizon’s FiOS which continues making its services the most attractive out there–if you can get it. Hollywood Reporter The Wall Street Journal had reported early Tuesday that […]

Some pretty cool features are shown in this video, such as streaming South Park or a home video on the network. I didn’t see mention of exactly what file formats are supported, but kudos to Verizon on a pretty impressive initial offering. Click on over to their site to see the short video of it in action. Zatz […]
