TiVo Will Stream Content From The Web

Posted by timothy on from the because-not-enough-content-was-under-the-rug dept.

Patik writes "According to an article at the NY Times, 'new TiVo technology... will allow users to download movies and music from the Internet to the hard drive on their video recorder.' This is TiVo's next big push for subscribers after being dumped by DirecTV Tuesday. Blockbuster, Netflix, and Real are also looking into distributing feature-length movies over the web."

Several industry executives and analysts said that the award surprised them and that Accenture had widely been considered the outside candidate. The award also brought controversy. Accenture is incorporated in Bermuda, and some critics attacked the idea of awarding a contract so valuable and important to national security to a company with its headquarters outside the United States. After Accenture was named, Representative Lloyd Doggett, a Texas Democrat, suggested the company took advantage of an uneven playing field to win the contract over Lockheed Martin and Computer Sciences. "If companies truly want to contribute to our nation's security, they can pay their fair share of taxes. If they want a slice of the American pie, they had better help bake it," he said in a statement. A spokesman for Accenture said that the company paid United States taxes. Representative Richard E. Neal, a Massachusetts Democrat and a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee, also questioned the award. "This decision is outrageous," he said, in a statement. "The Bush administration has awarded the largest homeland security contract in history to a company that has given up its U.S. citizenship and moved to Bermuda. The inconsistency is breathtaking." the stock markup FraUD/softwar gangster payper liesense hostage grab 'business plan' is looking a little hapless now?

    MILLIONS of paying subscribers aren't even aware that you COULD do this kind of thing. I see they are contributing marketing to the consumer benefit. Informing people of what they really want. MILLIONS of paying subscribers can't, without the help of friendly set-top boxes. Chances are if they can operate any of the number applications that will allow them to do this now they aren't going to be interested in an expensive set top box and subscription to do it either.
