Re: HDTV - I direct
said by Steimes  :I would love to watch NHL, NFL, live events ect that I can direct. If it be live or on demand, I would love to watch the game the way I want to watch it. I choose what camera angel to see for the replay, live action ect. Now I know 20-30 live (or bottled) HDTV streams at my disposal is a tall order, but so was the super computers we have sitting in front of us 20 years ago. I think DirectTV (not any of the cable providers as far as I know) has a NFL package that allows you to see the game from different camera angles. A game is then simultaniously broadcasted on several channels from different angles. If you have a dual tuner receiver, you could place a smaller TV without sound on next to your regular TV and watch the same game from a different angle.
I know that NASCAR offers like 10 channels on races, so you can see from inside a number of cars, follow the race from different angles, etc, etc...
Choosing what camera angle to use when you watch replays, etc, is something that is probably not too far in the distant future, but I think control over which camera you want to see at what point in time is more likely to happen with cable then it is with satellite, just like Video on Demand, because I would think there is some communication required between customer and the tv provider.
