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

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.

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.

Netflix and TiVo teaming up to bring
rental videos on demand 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]

Proxim, Intel Join Forces on WiMax

Proxim, Intel Join Forces on WiMax 06/17/2004 07:25 PM
Proxim and Intel will work together on WiMax, a boon to Proxim: The smaller company's stock shot up 27 percent today on the news that it would be participating in what Intel has increasingly focused on as the next important wireless market. WiMax has the potential to offer point-to-point and mobile standardized broadband wireless service, but its time to market is still a concern. If it doesn't achieve productization quicklly enough--and signs are that we might not see unlicensed WiMax products in the US until 2006--existing somewhat proprietary solutions could commoditize quickly enough for the market. Meanwhile, higher-speed cell data offerings might take the sheen off the necessity of mobile WiMax, although the latter's potential for using unlicensed bands gives it an edge. SkyPilot's announcement today--after a few years of development--of their broadband wireless system adds another player to a tightly focused market that hopes to fill in the home and business broadband market. Their equipment works in the unlicensed 5.8 GHz band. Although the press release says that Proxim expects to ship fixed broadband equipment in early 2005 and "portable" (not mobile) devices later next year, it doesn't state whether these will be shipped in the US or overseas, nor which bands will be used....
