Finally -- Tivo and YouTube
So according to <a title="Adweek" href="http://www.adweek.com/aw/content_display/news/digital/e3i57765b16dbd8c2a... target="_blank">Adweek</a>, some Tivo owners can finally watch YouTube on their TV! Bummer that it is only thousands that have a powerful enough box to do so. Tivo despirately needs to embrace Broadband Video as its increasing relevance may negate the need for Tivo altogether (with sites like <a title="hulu" href="http://www.hulu.com" target="_blank">Hulu</a> and <a title="abc" href="http://www.abc.com" target="_blank">ABC.com</a>). This is a step in the right direction -- as I mentioned in my post on <a title="Broadband's Abundance" href="http://www.themediamall.com/blog/?p=17" target="_self">Broadband's Abundance</a>.
We want to take it much farther than the thousands who will be able to watch <a title="YouTube" href="http://www.youtube.com" target="_blank">YouTube </a>on their TV via their Tivo -- we want to open up not just YouTube, but also <a title="Hulu" href="http://www.hulu.com" target="_blank">Hulu</a> and <a title="ESPN" href="http://www.espn.com" target="_blank">ESPN.com </a>and <a title="CBS" href="http://www.cbs.com" target="_blank">CBS.com </a>and <a title="CNN" href="http://cnn.com" target="_blank">CNN.com </a>to the millions (over 5 million) of folks who have PS3s or Xbox360s -- so they can watch these Internet-based videos on their TVs. I mentioned this on my last <a title="New product" href="http://www.themediamall.com/blog/?p=20" target="_self">blog post</a> where I invited PS3 owners and Xbox360 owners to try out our Beta. The offer is still open - email me at <a href="mailto:tracy@themediamall.com">tracy@themediamall.com</a>.
As always - would love to hear your thoughts!
