Internet live streaming TV - it is realy cool
Tonight I stumbled upon something extremely cool... something I had hoped would be available
to those of us using the 700w with unlimited bandwidth... live video streaming TV.
I found it by going to an IE bookmark to windowsmedia.com -- right at the top is a link for
"Watch Live TV" (smartvideo.com) -- I clicked it and set up a free 7-day account and within
a few minutes later I was watching live streaming MSNBC TV. It wasn't that great, so I
checked out the "Settings" link buried at the bottom of the page. There it had the option to
switch it from the default "low speed" to "high speed" -- then I watched the MSNBC stream
again and *WOW* -- the video and audio were incredible!!! I even had it playing while
driving around town just to see if it would stay going...
it did... for a long time!
Unfortunately they only have a few live video streams......

TiVo Facing Identity Crisis
Dallas, TX (ContentDesk via ContentDesk Direct) July 6, 2005 -- A new report from The Diffusion Group, a leading digital consumer and new media research consultancy, suggests that as DirecTV phases out shipments of TiVo DVRs ? a relationship that accounted for 70% of TiVo units sold in 2004 but will account for less than 5% of unit shipments by 2007 ? TiVo will be forced to come to terms with an increasingly competitive market flooded by free DVRs from video service providers.
"Can TiVo Survive? A Case Study in the Perils of First-to-Market Innovations" argues that though TiVo will look to new cable and satellite relationships to fill the gap, these dealings will generate far too little revenue to sustain the company for the long-term."TiVo's new president and CEO, Tom Rogers, will face many challenges as he leads TiVo into its post-DirecTV chapter," said Scott Kipp, author of the report and a contributing analyst with The Diffusion...
