| Hmmm... Got a new HDTV?
Got HD programming for that new HDTV?
Hey! Lets display some pixelated, blocky, out of focus - stretched Youtube video on that baby!
Tell ya what, go to YT right now, pick a video, hit the full screen button.
Looks great, huh?
Do the same to the other sources - full screen.
AWESOME! 
Sorry, but this is just not sound too appealing.

I think you are missing the news about YouTube doing deals to start supplying better quality YouTube videos. By the time Verizon rolls this out (about a year), YouTube may have much more high quality offerings from Hollywood and not just uploaded crap from people's cell phone cameras.

| Re: Hmmm... my point of view is that is its accessible in my living or bedroom when i want to watch it.
There is so much good/entertaining content out there which my linear broadcast nor vod can pick up. Its endless entertainment when i need it and what i want.
Who knows Verizon will cut a deal with random internet video providers and we get it all in one box. | |

| Re: Hmmm... On the FIOS website, they claim that, with the Home Media DVR and Home Media Manager software on your PC, you can watch a movie from the internet on any FIOS-connected TV in the home (I assume that would include content from HULU, etc).
Too bad they seem to have jumped the gun on that, as I have the Home Media DVR and Media Manager software on my PC, and I can't stream any video or audio content to any TV in my home. Mark F | |

If either of you would take the time to read it and watch it you would hear them say that it isn't only YT but also other providers AS WELL AS Video that you may already have on your network. | |

| Lets also face it before verizon it was Tivo vs Cable + Dish.
But also look at David Zatz postings -- there is a pattern, they bring him, show it and release it within couple of months (previous releases)
I think he is one of their key channels to create buzz and get the word out there. | |

They already have streaming of audio from your PC.

@verizon-gni.net | net friendly? WOW...what a parity. On one end comcast wants to shut users down for using the pipe. Verizon seems to be pushing users to use their pipe.
Only downside is more barney in my living room | |

| said by fatmanskinny :How about letting me setup DVR recording on my home system via a secure website, view DVR recordings I have made via a secure website other view web-based DVR records on my DVR box and allow me to e-mail DVR recordings to other DVR users in the same cable system or on another cable system? That's f**king different! VZ will be offering DVR setting via the Web and cell phones soon. Not sure about the other stuff you mention.
