NYT has some details on the technology behind the latest AOL-WB launch In2TV (see the post below). Besides online streaming, AOL will offer a version of the service meant to be watched on a TV set connected to a Windows Media Center PC, and it is exploring a similar arrangement to link the Internet programming to TV through TiVo.

For those who want to watch on a big screen, AOL is introducing optional technology, called AOL Hi-Q, that it says will produce a DVD-quality picture. The software plugin will require the downloading once, and the program may not start for several minutes, depending on the speed of the users’ connection.

Also, the distribution is through a secure P2P network, which used technology from Kontiki, a Silicon Valley company providing a similar system to the ambitious Internet video program of the BBC.
