What a great way. . .For cablevision to see what is on your computer. for me additional software would be the deal killer for me. |

Billy is watching Mr. Smiths pornI would assume this would work the same as in demand, broadcasting it on a clear digital channel. Most likely it won't be encrypted, so any zitty 12 year old can take his new digital HDTV tuner and tune in what you are watching. Hopefully nothing too sensitive, like your online banking, tax software, or better yet that foot fetish you are into. |

How's it work?Wow how does that work? What if your playing a 720p or 1080i MKV file? What is it a program that captures what's on your PC, sends it out your modem via the upstream, relay's it off a server and streams it to the set top just like VOD? Wouldn't the modem network limit throughput? What is the resolution of the PC to TV Relay channel? Is it 4:3 SD centered on an HDTV, or is it full HD?

too little too late?anyone with a modern video card can output media to their hi-def tv's using a HDMI cable without too much hassle. a couple of advantages (of transfering to a "channel") are the capability to stream to any or all set-tops at once and stream LIVE content multicasted at a site. this is the kind of evolution of cable-tv that should have happened 5+ years ago. i also expected verizon to have done something such as this instead of loading up on widgets and telephone service fees ($10-$12) in addition to the fcc line/subscriber charge.
my (rhetorical) question is, what happens when someone makes a widget/patch/hack that ends up streaming p2p torrents to the channel.. in 'blatant' violation of tos? think the copyright holders are pissed about cablevision doing a network dvr, how happy will they be with this? |

cablevision is always ahead of comcast.Gee comcast, what do you have to offer, oh nothing.... |

hmmThis actually might get around the hulu problem. If this works the way it says its like viewing the content on a tv channel. Since the content gets streamed to cablevision first the content providers can keep a good watch on the content. |
|
|
I don't think this will ruffle feathers with HuluA TV subscription is still required (remember, this comes through an STB) so the sacred cash cow is preserved. |
