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

    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?

    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.

    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...

    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.

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