TiVo and Netflix to Partner for
Downloadable Content?
09/06/2004 04:33 PM

Hey, guys. I'm sort of taking the day off from news - finishing up some freelance and doing a lot of behind-the-scenes catch up for Gizmodo - but this was just too interesting not to talk about. Newsweek is reporting that TiVo and NetFlix are planning on releasing a system that would allow subscribers of both services to download movies and television programs directly to their TiVos over broadband. There's no confirmation from the companies yet, but this could be huge. If they could figure out a way to let us take TiVoToGo onto mobile media devices, we could finally have an all-you-can-eat, legal video download option.

While Netflix and Tivo still haven't confirmed their rumored relationship, Netflix is still pushing forward with getting the other pieces in place for any kind of downloadable video-on-demand offering. They've now signed a deal with Warner Brothers to test movie downloads. Of course, this also demonstrates some of the hassle Netflix has to go through to build such a service. They need to go to each and every studio and convince them that (no, really) if they let Netflix help them offer video on demand it will let them rent more movies, and it won't mean the end of the movie industry because some kid figures out how to break whatever copy protection scheme they agree to use.

Netflix + TiVo: Done


Netflix + TiVo: Done 09/07/2004 03:08 AM
Back in January, we had discussed that coming convergence of TV and movies in the video-on-demand space and discussed the somewhat obvious connection of TiVo + Netflix. It appears that the management of both of those companies has figured it out as well, as Newsweek has the "high level sources" rumor mill spinning about TiVo and Netflix teaming up to offer a combined movies-on-demand service. While the details aren't there, this does make a lot of sense for both companies, who each need to differentiate themselves from the growing competition within their space. Both have built up great brand names, and extraordinarily loyal followings, but are now facing strong competition from more established players with huge wallets. A combined solution that let users download movies directly to their TiVo (and, even better, take them "on the go" with TiVoToGo) has tremendous potential and would keep them a step ahead of the competition for now. Still, it remains to be seen exactly how they implement this solution. If it's not done well, it could be damaging to the reputation of both companies, while taking attention away from their existing solutions. It's also unclear if there will be exclusivity in this relationship, or if both players will be able to team up with others as well.

Netflix And TiVo? Perfect Together 01/27/2004 01:44 PM
A long, but interesting, look at Netflix's business. The article points out, accurately, that Netflix is going to be a strong competitor for any online "video on demand" outfit - as they basically are a video on demand outfit that just takes a bit longer to deliver - but comes with much more freedom for the end user. However, the company clearly realizes that their biggest threat doesn't appear to be the recent copycat attempts by folks like Wal-Mart and Blockbuster, but the future of video on demand. Unlike most companies that miss the boat on disruptive technologies, Netflix is already trying to figure out how they'll compete in that space as the technology gets better. They haven't given up much in the way of details, but are working on tests of video on demand systems they can offer as an option - allowing for a gradual transition when (if!) people want their movies delivered over the internet. At the end, the article makes one interesting prediction: Netflix and TiVo should team up to offer some sort of combined solution. The article doesn't specifically discuss what that solution should be, but it could make a lot of sense. Offering up an easy way to "download" the video of your choice to your TiVo could be fairly compelling.

Amazon Might Partner With Netflix Or

Amazon Might Partner With Netflix Or
Blockbuster To Rent DVDs In The US
04/14/2005 10:36 PM
Last year, Netflix surprised a lot of people by announcing that they believed Amazo n was about to enter the DVD rental market. It's not often that one company's entrance into a market is announced by a potential competitor. While Amazon eventually did launch a DVD rental service, it was only in the UK. Perhaps Amazon's brief experience in that market has convinced Jeff Bezos that the company would be better off not going it alone in the US. Amazon execs have reportedly been chatting with both Netflix and Blockbuster about a partnership to offer DVD rentals in the US. Depending on the terms offered (a big if, of course), Netflix would probably be smart to jump on this opportunity. It keeps Amazon from competing directly, and gives them access not only to Amazon's marketing reach, but also could allow them to better tie into Amazon's customer database and recommendation information -- which could strengthen Netflix's own recommendation offering.

Netflix and TiVo teaming up to bring

09/07/2004 04:57 AM

The majority of us that have cable or a dish have the capability to do pay for view. I have always been very disappointed with pay for view offerings, thus we rent video's on a regular basis. The wife also gets them from the library which is the best deal in town. But now Tivo and Netflix are proposing a deal where you can rent a video from Netflix and have it downloaded directly into your TiVo via your broadband connection.

This is a very smart move. I am sure the MPAA will be bitching along with the broadband providers who are going to forced to adsorb the extra bandwidth that this would create. [MSNBC]

Dave Zatz has updated his handy TiVo To Go guide to include instructions for moving your recorded TiVo content over to Sony's handheld gaming device. It's a little patchy, with a few steps of manual transcoding and the like in between, but I'm sure someone will build a nice all-in-one tool soon enough. Until then, Dave's got the basic steps (and plenty more info for transferring your TiVo To Go content elsewhere, not just the PSP).

How The Content Industry Is Trying To
Prevent TiVo From Innovating


How The Content Industry Is Trying To
Prevent TiVo From Innovating
07/22/2004 12:57 PM
It's an innovation that TiVo should have done years ago, and which others have already hacked their TiVo to do, or setup other systems which allowed it, but now that TiVo wants to let users transfer what they record to other devices, the content industry is freaking out. Among those complaining is the NFL, who is worried that someone will use this system to send a copy of a game to an area where TV coverage is "blacked out." As TiVo points out, it would take 144 hours to transfer a game at this point. That's a bit misleading, of course, as bandwidth is getting faster, but the system TiVo is designing seems clearly set up to limit unauthorized copying. If someone actually goes through the trouble of getting a football game in a "blacked out" zone, does it really matter that much? For the most part, what TiVo is doing would allow more people to view the commercials that help the TV industry make money. Of course, the end result, like everything the entertainment industry tries to block, is that people will continue to hack their way to do this anyway, and the entertainment industry will have even less control. Once again, with their short-term thinking they're shooting their own businesses in the foot.

Resource Center
07/20/2004 09:36 AM
Oracle Corp. and Macromedia have announced a partnership that takes advantage of the former's learning management system and the latter's line of content creation products. The result is the Content Resource Center, which was created by Oracle and is supported by Macromedia; it allows companies to use Macromedia's applications to develop, share and publish content while employing Oracle's iLearning educational management system for enterprise operations. Both companies hope that the initiative will improve the interoperability between content creation and deployment systems as well as facilitate their mutual interest in developing standards for online learning technology. Users of the Content Resource Center will have access to Oracle's PartnerNetwork and Macromedia's Alliance partner program and get the opportunity to showcase their content to other members of the community.
