Do people really want to watch TV on their PCs?<br /><br />I thought it would have been something that would have linked in with a Media Centre PC linked to a TV/Large Flat Panel etc. When viewed like the resolution is just not good enough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10939740.post-71406222955978302082006-12-07T10:28:00.000+00:002006-12-07T10:28:00.000+00:00The BBC doesnlt have an offering - limpid or other...The BBC doesnlt have an offering - limpid or otherwise - yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10939740.post-80293349680852479342006-12-06T19:47:00.000+00:002006-12-06T19:47:00.000+00:00Nice review Dan.

That said, its an encouraging glimpse into the future until they figure out how to get advertising revenue with this service. Lets see how ITV approach it.Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18094428968286249855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10939740.post-64271393336862458132006-12-06T11:50:00.000+00:002006-12-06T11:50:00.000+00:00You had an out of date .NET?

For a number of reasons<br />1. You can't put the rented programme on your video I-Pod and carry it with you<br />2. Why am I really going to pay for something that I can record on my hard disk freeview recorder<br />3. I can't currently plug my PC into my TV<br />4. The BBC are hopefully going to provide their content free.<br />This is an interesting experiment but it comes down to whether they are able to sort out the rights to get the TV programmes onto I-Pod. Only then will subscription model work. Otherwise it's a poor version of bit torrent and doomed to make little money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
