Netflix is definitely getting some of its lead of Blockbuster back with streaming videos, but BBI has closed the gap. There is a post on the Compete.com blog that shows how Blockbuster caught up with Total Access in Q4… http://blog.com...4-total-access/

[...] I’ve watched with rapt attention as there have been some rather big announcements as NetFlix introduced its WatchNow feature. TechCrunch thinks it’s a great move and sings its praises as competition to the current IPTV players. GigaOM illustrates the delusions of grandeur that the announcement conjures are not founded in the least. Its gotten quite its share of media play in the past few days. [...]

[...] It’s going to be very difficult to get into this space so late. Myspace is very entrenched and FOX made a huge bet that won big. Look for a lot of Web 2.0 and classic media mergers this year. The next big race to merge will probably be for movie studios and high tech, which is already happening with the recent announcement by Netflix. [...]

Ever hear of the SlingCatcher, it’s the opposite of the SlingBox and would be perfect this.

“The SlingCatcher is a set-top box that will let users project Web content to a TV screen, either wired or wirelessly, through an application called SlingProjector. Navigation can be done with either the included remote or through a PC. ”

“stream television shows and movies to a Windows PC.”

Yes, yes… I know that Windows is the far more ubiquitous, albeit far inferior, OS, but when will companies learn to release for both Windows and OSX?

I’ve never met anyone “in love” with a Windows desktop but the Mac cult is alive and well and growing. Please, NetFlix, learn to cultivate loyalty a la Apple and please the sophisticated among us…

Blockbuster TotalAccess would be much more compelling if you could mail the DVDs you get from the store back. Two trips to watch a two hour movie is too much.

Anyone see the Comcast commercial where there are two kids sitting on the porch (one a couple of years older)? The older kid says to the younger, “Back in my day, we had to get in the car and drive miles to a ‘video store’ and wait in line to watch a movie.” It’s really cute. Haven’t been able to find it online though.

I’m really stumped as to the appeal of the BlockBuster deal. The reason we switched to netflix was due to BlockBuster’s really crappy stores. The last few times we tried renting from Blockbuster, we ended up walking out empty handed as their selection was just plain crap.

I dunno…being able to return a movie at blockbuster SOUNDS like a good deal, but I find just sticking my DVD in my mailbox so much easier.

@eric:

“Some of us like to do things legally.”

Is bittorrenting a show any different than taping your show on one of them VCRs we’ve been using for the past 25 years?

VCRs in many ways were less restrictive than much of what we have to day in terms of DVRs and IPTV DRM and the like.

With a VCR, I could record ANYTHING (no ‘flags’ to worry about). My FFWD button was never disabled. The tape would play anwwhere I had a VCRs. Even at my friends house! It never had to ‘call home’ to report things to the big eye in the sky.

Too bad the tapes were so damn big and bulky, though…

Note: It appears that Viacom is no longer part of BB, so I do apoligize if my post is not relevant;-)

Isn’t BB part of Viacom –which would be part of such sites like MTV and VH1? Couldn’t BB start offering exclusive content and/or do the same with a large number of catalog movies?

I still think that the convergence of internet & retail stores will be hard to overcome long-term.

There are a number of companies that are in a better position than Netflix to bring movies to the TV: Apple (with Apple TV), Moviebeam, Tivo and all the cable companies.

Apple will likely get a substantial number of people to buy their box, but it’s harder to get people to spend $10-$13 to buy a movie than $2-$5 to rent one. MovieBeam has a lot of issues. Tivo is probably one of the best positioned companies to provide such a service, but so far hasn’t announced any plans.

The 1,000-lb gorillas are the cable companies.
