- Leo21k, on 01/01/2009, -0/+24I stopped watching movies using the internet when comcast put a 250gb cap on my usage a month.
- harrythe3rd, on 01/02/2009, -0/+19I Believe in Hulu.
- Schmich, on 01/02/2009, -1/+14I rather have ads than having to pay.
- nrvous250gt, on 01/02/2009, -0/+12Free is nice, but I'm willing to pay. If I'm paying, I only want to pay for what I'm going to watch (which is maybe 10 channels). Right now I pay $100 for those 10 channels because I'm subsidizing the 4 people who watch the Knitting Channel. The system is absurd.
- roijen, on 01/02/2009, -0/+9I could digg this solely for Intel's use of anthropologists.
Though when I think about it, I don't really know what this says about Intel. - Causemos, on 01/02/2009, -0/+6Which is exactly why comcast put the cap in place now. Let's brand these people as evil before everyone starts doing it and dropping their cable service.
- diggit83, on 01/02/2009, -0/+5By logging into digg you are supporing arabs arpgi. Kevin Rose donates heavily to the "Im living in america because of its generous amenities, but hate it, praise alah" Foundation
- chadsmith729, on 01/02/2009, -0/+5You took my exact comment. I came very close to the cap last month coming in at 220GB, I am a website programmer and transfer large sites. The "burst" feature is cool where it will open the pipes when I am transferring large files but it doesn't help that it's capped at 250.
- JIZZED, on 01/01/2009, -2/+7Damn, more ADS, this sucks ._.
- chadsmith729, on 01/02/2009, -2/+6What is arrogant and a bigot? .... arpgi
- wedoDigg, on 01/02/2009, -1/+4Long Live The BBC iPlayer..
(British/VPN Users Only) - 4NDr01D, on 01/02/2009, -3/+6***** Commercials!!
Do Not Want! - theberlindoctor, on 01/02/2009, -0/+3Good luck with that.
- vat0r, on 01/02/2009, -0/+3I feel as if part of televisions natural evolution will be to meld with web functionality. Being able to pull up relevant information from the web while watching your favorite programming is the future. Picture watching a basketball game and being able to pull up stats on demand, your own instant replays, scouting reports etc. All in real time.
It will also be beneficial to the networks and advertisers because it will allow them to gain a deeper understanding of particular demographics. In return they can improve functionality and more effectively target advertisements. As it stands now television advertising is ridiculously ancient. You continuously see ads that are not even remotely relevant to the programming. Get with the "program" guys.
Something I'd truly love to see would be À la carte selections of the programming you like and are willing to pay for. I have around two hundred channels and I maybe watch twenty of them on a regular basis. It's simply wasteful on both ends.
Innovation and efficiency will rule the day in this market. - kckinn, on 01/02/2009, -0/+3is this IPTV or something else ?
- orthodoxDrew, on 01/02/2009, -0/+3i tend to consider them 'farkers'
- MavRevMatt, on 01/02/2009, -0/+3Would you rather pay for it?
- rocky1138, on 01/02/2009, -0/+2Unfortunately in this market that will never happen with the current regulation and legislation. Cable providers do not want to go A la carte even though everyone and their brother sees it as the future. No matter... online video sites like YouTube will simply take their customers away, even while being against copyright law, until cable companies and satellite companies change their ways.
- cadmiumpaint, on 01/02/2009, -0/+2youtube on a good day has piss poor quality and content wise can become incredibly boring after 5 minutes.
hulu and its fake 480 "HD" is barely passible fullscreen on my 15" laptop. I only use it if i forget to DVR something.
HD cable still beats anything the internet can stream. And i'm sure as hell not going to wait a week to download and watch every NFL or NBA playoff game. I'd rather watch it in glorious live HD. - inactive, on 01/02/2009, -0/+2I hope it is. By all means, rent me a box that I plug into my hub and sell me alacarte channels.
I'll take ESPN-HD, FoxSports-HD & Discovery HD.
But wait? Comcast caps my internet connection and Qwest sucks eggs for upload speeds? I can only hope that this pushes the city of Seattle to installing their own FTTH service (without Qwest suing them to prevent it from happening). - maz2331, on 01/02/2009, -0/+2They're going to collide with Comcast and Time/Warner who want to block off the 'net from being useful as competition to their dedicated video feeds.
- str3ama, on 01/02/2009, -0/+2yawn ...once again a little too late, especially considering that it's already being done and for a fraction of what they're offering
http://www.freetube.us.tc - lots of live international tv channels (streaming)
http://www.hulu.com - not really live internet tv, but tv shows served through the internet.
http://www.surfthechannel.com - tv shows again
http://www.tvuplayer.com - the tvu player plugin lots of channels broadcasted through p2p.
Yahoo screwed up with Yahoo Live! - which recently closed down due to poor reception and funding, they won't be able to do any better even with Intel's help - the infrastructure is already in place - but the telecoms that control the channels can't agree or come to conensus on the ad model - they want a traditional model, which is archaic and won't convert well, they can't see the forest from the trees. - 3nder99, on 01/02/2009, -1/+3God I love my little ISP and their no ***** policy. No caps, no RIAA, no MPAA. You want my ISP to disconnect someone, you better have a ***** warrant signed by a judge. Not a request signed by a company with no legal rights to issue it.
- diggdatt, on 01/02/2009, -1/+3TV as in episodes that are 20 or 40 minutes long with ad interruptions? Sorry bitches, ***** like that on the web needs to be different. Besides, I prefer politcal vlogs on youtube that keep it short and simple.
- visarya, on 01/02/2009, -0/+2many had high hopes with joost
- cadmiumpaint, on 01/02/2009, -0/+2i agree whole heartedly.
- lateralus, on 01/02/2009, -0/+2Intel is already working on a marketing line for processors that are optimized for internet TV.
Extreme-Hyper-Threading Viiv-Centrino Edition Duo. - orthodoxDrew, on 01/02/2009, -0/+2yeah, and when this happened, i remember diggers saying anyone using that much bandwidth was abusing comcast
- thenativeraver, on 01/02/2009, -1/+3That's the "new" breed of diggers.
The ones that migrated here from myspace. The ones who digg stupid pictures of cats. The ones who post acii art of pedo bear in every damn story.
Obviously they are not true geeks. - thenativeraver, on 01/02/2009, -0/+2Revision3 FTW!
- visarya, on 01/03/2009, -0/+2many had high hopes with joost
- geoffg, on 01/02/2009, -1/+3TV has its place and the internet has its place.
- slickwatson, on 01/02/2009, -0/+2Now that Yahoo! is behind it, its doomed to fail
- carlosos, on 01/03/2009, -0/+1Sounds to me like you should get business class Internet
- tetranz, on 01/02/2009, -1/+2If you're interested in live international news channels, Livestation http://www.livestation.com is very good. Unfortunately it's somewhat limited for US viewers. Their best channel, BBC World News, is blocked in the USA :-(
- inactive, on 01/02/2009, -1/+2yahoo is ***** weak. bunch of has beens.
- rocky1138, on 01/02/2009, -1/+2In our apartment we've made a conscious decision to not have cable, satellite, or antenna TV. We have 4 PCs, all with internet + YouTube. Two have 27" screens. When will the industry wake up and realize that efforts to force internet onto televisions is the exact opposite of progress? They should be focusing more on sites like YouTube and dare I say it Hulu (instead get rid of the region restrictions, which are annoying to people not in the USA.)
I subscribe to CTV and BNN together online for $9.99 a month and it's streaming video of their live broadcast, 24/7. Why doesn't every channel offer this? Then we could just subscribe to the channels we want. I don't even mind ads during those shows, it's all good. If the ads get bad enough, I'll cancel my subscription. - urnrg, on 01/02/2009, -0/+1Agreed on the digg. More companies need anthropologists even if on call.
- santzu, on 01/02/2009, -1/+2WebTV was awesome (please read the sarcasm)
- rocky1138, on 01/02/2009, -1/+2Wow! Thanks for this -- I had no idea that this was available :) I'm really liking this.
- rocky1138, on 01/03/2009, -0/+1True. The quality definitely is not there -- yet. I think though that you can see the potential in it. Just imagine if they were able to stream videos at 720p, 30fps with no buffering. Internet connections and servers in North America need to get a lot faster for that to happen, though :S Watching YouTube videos on my 7mbps line still takes a bit to buffer stuff at the current quality.
Oh well, we can dream :) - BrendanSheehan, on 01/02/2009, -1/+2Internet TV, you think? Never?
- darkixion, on 01/02/2009, -3/+3Yahoo *and* Intel. Don't let Digg become like Engadget, substituting "and" with commas.
"Yahoo, Microsoft end talks, hopes resulting in CEO resignation, firing." - pwoodford, on 06/17/2009, -0/+0http://www.viewmy.tv - free streaming tv. It rocks plain and simple!
- inactive, on 02/04/2009, -0/+0There are a lot of people who just watch episodes of show on the Internet. Of course Yahoo and Intel want a piece of that advertising pie.
- jim0bob, on 01/05/2009, -0/+0Have a look at http://www.watchonbroadband.com they have a good list of TV stations from around the world.
- zkh8778866, on 01/02/2009, -3/+1Yang Zhiyuan is trash
- inactive, on 01/02/2009, -4/+2How can T.V. go through internet. It's just a series of tubes.
- inactive, on 01/02/2009, -14/+2What is brown and smells? An Arab
