| Hulu? Um... doesn't Hulu pretty much take care of this already? Plus, it's probably much better than anything the cable or telco companies could cook up. |

I already have a central resource for all my video content.
Its called a SageTV PVR.
I can watch shows when I want to and how I choose to.
If I want to watch live TV or recorded content at home, or on the go,
I decide. If I want to load up my Sandisk player with
recorded content, I decide.
Not using some locked down DVR box from the cable co.
We are not waiting years for the cable co's to figure it out.
Its all about choice. I choose to use something different.
I choose to use it NOW. Not 10 years from now. |

Re: Hulu? A cable internet user doesn't have to subscribe to cable tv to get Hulu. That's not what ablecos want.The cablecos want their own Hulus.. funded by people who actually pay for the content--by subscribing to both tv and internet.

the goal of tv everywhere really is to get the same thing on your computer as you might have on your tv. in some cases, that literally means a simulcast of the network online, so as long as they know you're a paying subscriber.
hulu's business model leaves a lot to be desired and right now is akin to the .coms driven who were giving away free product in hopes their ad revenue would cover them... guess what happened there? eventually hulu investors are going to want a return on their investment beyond the "proof of concept" it is now. actually i was reading this morning about how murdoch (news corp is one of the investors in hulu) was already ready to announce a subscription model for hulu.
also, the amount of content available on hulu is minimal comparatively.
