TiVo Signs Up for Internet Video Content
lfescalante writes "TiVo, in an increasingly diversified attempt to offer new content to its subscriber base, today announced a partnership with Internet TV pioneer Brightcove to bring content partner video offerings from this company to Tivo boxes. The first fruits of this relationship should begin appearing within the coming months."
check out the "current offerings" on their website. The video programs look terrible. They promote the Blair Witch Project web commercials as "innovative".
sad... so terribly sad.
How about just setting up a video podcast receiver that I can use on my Tivo instead? There are thousands of public video feeds already online. I don't really care about Barrio 305 or some lame National Lampoon comedy shorts channel.
Why don't the marketing people see that? Too busy dreaming of $$$ and misreading their survey results, no doubt.
i had never heard of Brightcove, apparently its run by Jeremy Allaire the guy who invented that great server language called Coldfusion (cough cough)
iam sure this will be destined to succeed as well as coldfusion did in the server scripting market
