The Revolution will be Downloaded
Today really shows the future of television in so many ways. First you got that new LBC show where they putting people to live in a farm it is live and annoying and most people in Kuwait and the Arab world will be watching it 24/7 and sending messages proclaiming their love to the fake actors.
The other show that is out is Battlestar Galactica Season 2 Episode 1, which I am currently downloading via BitTorrent, God bless BitTorrent. This show was just released today and already it is available online and currently has 1960 seeds, and 3709 peers. In geek speak that means a lot of people are downloading it and its available for everyone to enjoy.
This is the future cause I am not tied down to waiting for it to air in Kuwait, I can access it now and downloaded it when it is available and ready, and then watch is on my TV and that they are people dedicated to spend time recording it and having it available for no profit. But they are always issues, the Entourage I downloaded didn’t work at all and have to download it again. The iTunes music store people are willing to pay for good quality media at a reasonable price. This seems what Netflix is going to be doing soon with their on demand stuff that someone found earlier this week. If they plan to give their whole collection available for downloading I am so signing up. I will have access to their collection anytime and not have to deal with searching and downloading all over the net.

Hope they have chubby women on that show.
actually, you don’t have to wait too long. it seems the next ipods will be running on intel chips and play videos, and itunes already allows you to play videos and the itunes music store already has some video downloads plus intel and morgan freeman recently formed clickstar (http://www.clickstarinc.com/), and since apple and intel have become buddy buddies and intel stands to make a lot of money from the ipod, then its pretty possible that the itunes movie store is very near.
netflix should be cool and competition never hurt, i guess we will have to see which one of them offers cheaper movies.
We are in the era in which DVD collections of your favorite TV show is becoming obsolete. Why pay for a DVD collection when you can easily download them online from any downloading software that people use? I know someone who has the entire 3 seasons of CSI on his computer. He just installed a DVD writer and now he has his very “own” private collection :) Although piracy is illegal…but whatever :)
yeah i dont understand why tv shows are so fcking expensive to buy when we could watch it for free on tv!
Becuase on TV the advertisers pay the cost of show.
so? when we buy a dvd we will pay for the cost of the dvd and the packaging, then let them add a bit more for them, but not 80$ for their pocket.
