The way you watch TV might be changing soon...

[Julio]

Have you guys heard about the " watch your tv show at Anytime For $.99" .. ( only after it originally airs )

Should be coming out pretty soon.. You think this will be succesful?

[PSINXS]

no. Tivo already in play. nobody is gonna pay every time. they will wind up getting a tivo. and if they have direct tv it already comes with that feature. and if porn wont be offered, a definite no. u can tivo your favorite PPV movies.

Actually I think that the fact that TV will be IP based will be a reality. Bellsouth is releasing their 24mb DSL next year and when other vendors get to that point IP television will put Analog out.

I think on cell phones it would work, Id pay if I wanted to watch a show on my cell, If I had one that could do that

if they have direct tv it already comes with that feature.

Yea, but you have to pay for that feature, because Dish offers that, too, and it's extra. Later, QD.

i'll take a one time fee versus a dollar per show.

24mb? Dammmmn.... Is that what the end user gets or just what it's rated at? I imagine that connection isn't cheap... Anyways... on the topic. No I dont think people are gonna pay $1 per show just to watch it at another time... Like the first guy said TiVo is out (and I love it) and very easy to use...

[Tiff-O-Bitties]

hmmm...

[Julio]

I think I t will be succesful, Maybe Im wrong.. you know How cool it is to watch any show that has already been aired.
1st episode of the brady bunch ownzz.. NOT!

[PSINXS]

damnnnnn how did you know that? We're already testing it in Cobb County but I think the testers were hand picked, its called IPTV. Basically how it will work is similar to what Julio stated without having to pay.

...Bit Torrent..Why Give 99. cents.

[tony]

I've tried the torrent thing and I have had no success

[ironchef]

What was unsuccessful about it?

[tony]

downloads too slow or never finishes.. and I'm on the fastest dsl available. Too frustrating to deal with

[ironchef]

Did you forward the ports for it?
