  1. HDTV and beyond by zymano · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Video over the Net.
      If more websites could broadcast and produce HDTV quality and higher res photos then this would be the impetus to move to broadband for everyone. It would also lower costs with more competitition(wimax).

    I need a reason to switch but it's not there yet for me. I don't play alot of games or download operatings systems. HDTV quality video productions,Sports,Movies and News might push people over from evil pricey cable tv.

      Well, what needs to happen is that similar to PodCasts, we need to have RSS feeds of these shows, and then build RSS Aggregation into MythTV and similar apps. This would enable the download of any RSS feeds desired, or the browsing of feeds in real time, and so on.

    Yeah, apparently that Cringley thing was just him sitting there talking. It could have been an mp3. I'm glad I didn't download it on my 56k!

  3. MythTV was interesting to watch... by antdude · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I was thinking of making one, but from what I heard it was complex. After downloading and watching the episode, it made more sense. Much better than reading and looking at screen shots. :)

    I hope to see more of these types of shows. It doesn't have to be on computers and technologies either.

    bias alert: I'm Jenn Cutter from Open Alpha

    Vid/podcasts will quickly become shunned if they sell out to corporate interests. No one wants to download something that's seemingly independent, only to find out that it's a 30-minute, 500MB commercial for HP/Canon/Sony/whatever. I started OA to geek out about games and tech and have fun. Many cool things have happened since, including a few upcoming guest segments on Call For Help, but that's just bonus. Those that start these kinds of projects for financial gain will find very little reward at this point in time and will (hopefully) jump to other get-rich-quick schemes while those of us that care about the content we're producing will merrily continue on.

    ps: episode 3 really IS coming :)
