@ Ronald Lester

If something is already public on the internet, and intended to be viewed by anybody online, how come using a browser that filters everything except for videos is pirating? You have got to be a Microsoft fanboy, maybe you think that firefox is pirating too, showing all internet content without any licencing.

And stop typing with CAPS, its ridiculus and makes you look dumb.

Yet again the hype continues. I am sure everyone wants to have movies and television programming stream through their broadband pipes.
Yet so far none of the solutions offer the quality that a regular HD broadcast offers or that of a DVD offers.
The society is being numbed and dumbed into accepting crappy quality, in terms of the image size on a mobile phone/personal DVR or on a small 3X4 screen on a computer. When will people stop hyping such crappy solutions and demand something that is comparable to what they are used to.
If such solutions are being touted as the wave of the future then I guess the cost of procuring money to fund such enterprises is very low and thus we see a plethora of such offerings.
My experience so far has left me shaking my head at the quality of these services.
Maybe I need to accept seeing Mission Impossible on a 3 inch screen and feel good.

Over" rel="nofollow">http://www.last100.com/2007/06/20/veohtv-has-joost-in-its-sights/">Over at last100, I’ve posted my thoughts on VeohTV, picking up on the company’s plans to get its software into a set-top-box, as" rel="nofollow">http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/veohtv_launches.php">as reported by Read/WriteWeb:

…we’re hearing more and more about software-based online TV solutions harbouring plans to get their services into a dedicated set-top-box, rather than relying on the PC. Joost has hinted at this direction, and recently we’ve reported on BitTorrent’s Software Developer Kit for set-top-boxes and other Internet devices, along with DivX’s work on a media streaming box. And let’s not forget Apple who have put a stripped down version of their desktop OS into the AppleTV so that it can act as a media extender for streaming iTunes content onto a TV, as well as, more recently, connect directly to YouTube.

this is good idea but is obviously asking for trouble in a number of ways. one everyone might forget? gemstar, particularly if they plan on selling ads w/in the guide.
