[...] Fox is expanding it’s Full Throttle offering of television shows (see Fox Streams More TV to Internet). The key difference from the previous offering seems to be that Fox is now distributing the shows through MySpace in addition to 24 local affiliate websites (this was a pain because you had to make up a physical address if you didn’t live in a covered geographic area like Los Angeles).

Regarding http://myfoxdc.com, it looks like when you try to stream the TV series it checks your IP address for location and display’s an error if you’re not in the DMA market for Washington, DC.

[...] I went to Fox.com to see if I could buy the show via Fox “Video on Demand.” It’s only available in certain markets, but I entered a random LA address to get around that (thanks, Techcrunch- tried entering the Fox Interactive address, but they were wise to me… so I Googled an address in LA). Turns out I can’t open it on my home Mac anyway. And my work computer won’t take ActiveX. Finally, our new Satellite PC laptop is now (thanks to my kids) missing almost all of the letters on it. But I digress. [...]

yeah, I hear you. But ultimately these guys are competing with media center/tivo with skipped ads (and free), and bittorent. You can’t just ignore the fact that the competition has a model that beats you even before you get out of the gate.

So sure, charge for the content. But also give users something they can’t get anywhere else. Safe and fast downloads to whatever device they want. No DRM. Take your dollar or two and call it a day.

As a mac user and a PC user (windows/linux) I know one thing for certain: This will never be available off their website. They want to be able to control your experience. This is a company that is a member of the MPAA, pushing for the broadcast flag, VEIL, and any other consumer limiting technology they can get your hands on. Supporting their efforts to lock you in is probably a bad idea. If you ever want it to move from website only to on your ipod or whatever, you’ll have to prove to them (by not only not watching, but by convincing others) that their forced-ad-supported online model is not successful.

Very interesting, and I would think they’ve got the timing about right on this too.

Platforms such as the iPod, they will probably want to consider at some later date.

I was watching the NBC Office streaming shows tonight, and they have these small little streaming ads…I dont know about others, but I just hate those . I pay for Cable, and I would be willing to pay for TV on the internet…otherwise, i just dont know what the revenue model is…maybe product placement (as HBO does so well in Enterouge).

Michael, what do you propose their revenue model be if they don’t have advertisements?

When will it be available for European viewers?

Yeah but that requires some poor sap of a consumer to do work ripping and all that high maintenance downloading on a low priroity download if net neutrality isn’t maintained - speaking of which TechCrunch could be a center of this since the other folks are dropping the ball.

P.S. I sent you an e-mail

Good coverage. I would disagree with the part about killing the ads. Although giving away everything for free is popular, it isn’t sustainable. I would rather have shows like this available with ads than not available online at all (I’m ignoring the bittorrent solution for the sake of argument). ipod download would be sweet, though.

It’ll be interesting to see if networks push all their shows out like this eventually and whether they end up offering an ad-free subscription model (on their platform as opposed to 3rd party likes itunes).

well we always have bittorent…

So who will invent the online version of Tivo to skip ads first?

I have Macs and PCs…tried this on my PC. But the Mac platform is simply better.

>>My two cents: kill the ads and make this work on all platforms without a download.

get off the mac and into the real world…where your customer computes, with IE, and get into real technology instead of AJAX java script my browser;

don’t you have to download iTunes?
