Just not a signal that is recordable on a lot of the systems today, because any old device wont work with it, and any new device will honor copy-protection code. Sure you'll get a signal out of the digital box. Heck, I did, and got a new TV.īut likely it's due to the last copyprotection that went in this way. So, you ever tried to play commercial video tapes to an older TV? Ever noticed how the upper half of the picture gets distorted? Now, it would be easy to think that's just a case of bad tracking, or a sucky tv, or something. Though "deposited weelky" certainly sounds like time slotting for me -) though i know what you mean. This would be nice and hopefully in the future. If I subscribe to a series, I expect it to be deposited for viewing or archive on a weekly basis, to be viewed when I have time and the inclination. they can't just let you subscribe and do nothing. This is entirely dependant on what they provide for the "service charge" no service charge would usually equate to mimimum usage requirement. If you want me to pay per episode, I'll only pay for what I want to watch, not for all the hundreds of hours of useless tripe. either it's gonna be cheap and you have to pay each time to watch it (i mean do youreally need to hoard a lot of stuff you don't need? (like so many people out there!!)) or it's gonna cost more and let you keep a copy. I can make a non-duplicatable archive copy using a durable media like DVD.Īhh but this contradicts the price in point 1. However the box could notice that a dropout occured and thus give you access to a re-view for free.ĥ. you couldn't guarantee this sort of thing. A guarantee that there will be no dropouts, glitches, etc. If I gotta pay, I want unreduced 1080p (not 1080i), with full 5.1 sound.Ĭouldn't agree more, we shouldn t have to put up with the crap. No bullshit blurring, bitrate reduction, or other nonsense like DirectTV uses. Indeed in pay-per-view the adverts belong on the "preview" (advertising) channel. No commercials, previews, ad-banners, or other such nonsense is included Price per 1 hour episode is no more than $1 I'm rather shocked at the number of people I know who already see first-run theatre movies captured by DV cameras and transcoded to crippled-bitrate MPEG4 I can understand the content provider's concern over the issue as bandwidth increases.Īs to the advertising revenue, do these morons really think I buy anything because I saw it on TV? I select purchases based on rational evaluations and independent 'net reviews, not based on some glitzy TV advertising or the biased sound-bite reviews provided by print media or ZDNet and it's affiliates. If I subscribe to a series, I expect it to be deposited for viewing or archive on a weekly basis, to be viewed when I have time and the inclination.Īll in all, I don't have an issue with protecting the content from wanton copying and redistribution.
