I know it’s been a while since I posted so here are some updates if you haven’t heard of them already.
TiVo looks like it will allow the commercial skip but inplace of it they will have small ads running along hte bottom where teh thumbs up appears for when you want to record a show. This is pretty lame as the whole point of the TiVo or any pvr for that matter is to be able to fast forwad through commercials. We’ll see how this works, but I wouldnt mind so much if TiVo then made the service free, that way it makes sense for the ads to show up.
Otherwise, suck my ass! I am not going to pay that much money for something and then have to watch stupid mini-mercials. I can’t wait until some genius comes up with the idea to run ads along the bottom of a pvr and make it free!
In fact, that would be awesome, as you can then run big ads when they are checking out the guide, and just have small ads run across the bottom that can be content related.
You can then have them click on the ad to run the whole ad or be able to surf the net, b/c the pvr would have wi-fi built in to connect to your network.
That’s it! THAT’S IT! The ultimate PVR Company.
- Create a box where the storage can be user upgradeable.
- give service for free, but run ads along the bottom
- make ads content related, so that whatever type of show is on, it will throw up a relevant ad
- allow user to click on said ad and surf the net, or be able to bookmark it
- run ads in tv guide
- put built in wi-fi
That’s it.
