CNET launches video-on-demand network
It is just another in a long string of TV-over-IP announcements:
CNET Networks on Monday said it will launch “CNET TV,” a new video on demand network over cable, on digital video recorders made by TiVo and on the Internet as it broadens its reach to viewers.
It is unclear yet how exactly this content will be distributed but the inclusion of Tivo in the deal gives us a clue. Those of you who follow BBB regularly will realize that Tivo has long been the trojan horse for IPTV in the living room. Since every Tivo is essentially a fully functioning Linux computer it has always been possible to bypass people’s cable and satellite providers and download directly to the box.
Perhaps now Tivo is ready to push this into regular usage.
