on Tuesday</a> that Verizon would offer a couple dozen FiOS cable TV channels through a new Xbox Live app certainly isn’t a <em>bad</em> thing. But it’s also a reminder of all that we still lack when it comes to consuming what we want to consume, and not subsidizing piles of stuff we don’t.</p> <p>The FiOS deal sounds sweet enough—watch live TV through your Xbox 360!—until you realize it’ll require you already have a Verizon FiOS subscription. In that sense, Verizon’s deal is like all the others from cable providers who offer their services through devices likes computers or laptops. What sounds wonderful in theory—the ability to watch live TV without a cable box—turns out to require the cable box after all, and a regular subscription to boot. Instead of supplanting cable boxes, your computing devices become adjuncts to an aging, increasingly old-school method for consuming digital content, not the independent pipelines for discrete digital content they’re capable of being…and that so many consumers seem to be looking for.</p> <p> <a href="../../2011/12/01/verizon-fios-xbox-live-tv-deal-is-another-disappointing-half-measure/index.html#more-50193" class="more-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >Continue Reading →</a></p> </section> <div class="fix"></div> <h5><a href="../../2011/12/01/verizon-fios-xbox-live-tv-deal-is-another-disappointing-half-measure/index.html#respond"> No comments</a></h5><br /> </article> <a name="comments"></a> <article class="post-49399 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-news category-original-site tag-google tag-google-tv tag-internet-tv" <header> <h2 class="title entry-title"><a href="../../2011/10/28/new-google-tv/index.html" rel="bookmark" title="Google TV Lives!">Google TV Lives!</a></h2> <span class="dek"></span> </header> <div class="post-meta"><span class="small">Posted by</span> <span class="author vcard"><span class="fn">Harry McCracken</span></span> <span class="small"> on <abbr class="date time published updated" title="2011-10-28T08:25:39-0700">October 28, 2011</abbr> at <abbr class="time published" title="2011-10-28T08:25:39-0700">8:25 am</abbr> </div> <section class="entry"> <p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.technologizer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/wpid-photo-oct-28-2011-408-pm.jpg" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="311"/></p> <p>A year ago, the first devices based on Google TV–Logitech’s Revue box and some Sony TVs–debuted. Initial irrational exuberance over for the platform melted away quickly: The software was <a href="https://www.technologizer.com/2010/10/27/logitech-revue-google-tv/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >buggy and confusing</a>, and major media companies such as the big networks started blocking Google TV from <a href="https://www.technologizer.com/2010/10/21/no-abc-nbc-or-cbs-for-google-tv/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >streaming their content</a>.</p> <p>And then everybody sort of forgot about Google TV for the most part. Google occasionally said that it was <a href="https://www.technologizer.com/2011/05/04/google-tv-will-get-a-reboot/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >working on an improved version</a>, but the platform made news most recently when Logitech said that <a href="https://www.technologizer.com/2011/07/28/bad-revue-logitechs-google-tv-box-suffers-from-negative-sales/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >the Revue’s sales had been catastrophically bad</a>. I began to worry the Google TV wouldn’t make the cut of <a title="Some Slightly Better News on Google TV" href="https://www.technologizer.com/2011/07/31/some-slightly-better-news-on-google-tv/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >arrows that Google wanted to put wood behind</a>.</p> <p>Now Google is talking about Google TV again. Rather than hyping expectations, the company is taking an intentionally subdued approach–its blog post is titled merely “<a href="http://googletv.blogspot.com/2011/10/update-on-google-tv.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >An Update on Google TV</a>,” which sounds at first like it might be a warning that it’s winding down. But the news is good: Sony TVs will be getting the new version early next week, and the Revue will get it soon thereafter. (There apparently won’t be any <em>new</em> Google TV devices until 2012.)</p> </p> <p> <a href="../../2011/10/28/new-google-tv/index.html#more-49399" class="more-link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >Continue Reading →</a></p> </section> <div class="fix"></div> <h5><a href="../../2011/10/28/new-google-tv/index.html#comments"> 22 comments</a></h5><br /> </article> <a name="comments"></a> <article class="post-49296 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-oneliners category-original-site tag-internet-tv tag-netflix" <header> <h2 class="title entry-title"><a href="../../2011/10/24/goal-one-for-netflix-be-normal/index.html" rel="bookmark" title="Goal One for Netflix: Be Normal">Goal One for Netflix: Be Normal</a></h2> <span class="dek"></span> </header> <div class="post-meta"><span class="small">Posted by</span> <span class="author vcard"><span class="fn">Harry McCracken</span></span> <span class="small"> on <abbr class="date time published updated" title="2011-10-24T15:54:44-0700">October 24, 2011</abbr> at <abbr class="time published" title="2011-10-24T15:54:44-0700">3:54 pm</abbr> </div> <section class="entry"> <p><img decoding="async" data-attachment-id="855" data-permalink="https://technologizer.com/2008/08/14/netflix-uh-oh-try-notflix/netflix2/" data-orig-file="https://technologizer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/netflix2.jpg" data-orig-size="125,44" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":""}" data-image-title="netflix2" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://technologizer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/netflix2.jpg" data-large-file="https://technologizer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/netflix2.jpg" class="alignright size-full wp-image-855" title="netflix2" src="https://www.technologizer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/netflix2.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="44" />Netflix has announced its third-quarter results, and one stat stands out: <del>800,000 customers left the service</del> <a href="http://www.splatf.com/2011/10/netflix-3q11-earnings/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >its user base shrunk by 800,000 customers overall</a>.

At the moment, though, it needs to repair its reputation. It needs to prove that it cares about its customers and isn’t going to spring any more bizarre surprises on them. It needs to show that it has an adequate degree of self-awareness. It just needs to be <em>normal</em> for a while.</p> </section> <div class="fix"></div> <h5><a href="../../2011/10/24/goal-one-for-netflix-be-normal/index.html#comments"> 11 comments</a></h5><br /> </article> <a name="comments"></a> <article class="post-48842 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-news category-original-site tag-hbo tag-internet-tv tag-roku post_format-post-format-standard" <header> <h2 class="title entry-title"><a href="../../2011/10/11/48842/index.html" rel="bookmark" title="Roku Dips Below $50, Adds HBO GO">Roku Dips Below $50, Adds HBO GO</a></h2> <span class="dek"></span> </header> <div class="post-meta"><span class="small">Posted by</span> <span class="author vcard"><span class="fn">Harry McCracken</span></span> <span class="small"> on <abbr class="date time published updated" title="2011-10-11T06:00:36-0700">October 11, 2011</abbr> at <abbr class="time published" title="2011-10-11T06:00:36-0700">6:00 am</abbr> </div> <section class="entry"> <p><a href="https://www.technologizer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/20111010-231832.jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" ><img decoding="async" src="https://www.technologizer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/20111010-231832.jpg" alt="20111010-231832.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.roku.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >Roku</a>, which pretty much invented the cheap, easy-to-use Internet TV streaming box, is the sort of scrappy startup which you might have assumed would get steamrolled by mammoth competitors early on. Instead, it’s continued to do well even as Apple and Google have muscled in on its territory–in part because it’s a fine product, in part because it’s aggressively priced, and in part because the lineup of content is good and keeps getting better.</p> <p>Today, Roku has news on two of those fronts. It’s introducing a new basic model called the Roku LT that brings the price down to $49 for the first time–cheap for a Roku, and absurdly cheap in a market in which some products cost $200 or more. The LT does 720p video, and joins fancier models at $59, $79, and $99. (The top of the line <a href="https://www.technologizer.com/2011/07/20/yep-roku-2-is-a-game-console-too/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >Roku 2 XS</a> does casual gaming, including Angry Birds.)</p> <p>Are there people who wouldn’t buy a $59 Roku who will buy a $49 one? Roku thinks so, and it does sound like a lot of fun for the money. It’ll be available from Roku and retailers in early November.</p> <p>Roku is also announcing that it’s adding the HBO GO streaming service to all Roku players at the end of this month. HBO includes moves and full seasons of all HBO shows, and is available only to people who subscribe to HBO via cable or satellite.

He makes a more compelling, coherent case for divvying up the company’s streaming service and disc-rental business than anything that Netflix/Qwikster has said in its own defense:</p> <blockquote><p>So even though I haven’t been at Netflix in a long time, I can easily imagine the growing frustration they must have felt these last few years as they made decisions they knew were suboptimal for the streaming business in order to maintain compatibility with the DVD business. How to work out pricing that covers multiple use cases. How to come up with messaging that embraces two different ways to receive movies. How to manage the significant differences in the content available between the two services. How to simplify the landing page and sign up flow.</p> <p>Well no longer. Not having to worry about compatibility between the services makes it infinitely easier to optimize every decision around the real prize, which is clearly streaming. Pricing. Messaging. Content. Sign-up-flow. All better now.</p></blockquote> <p>Randolph doesn’t defend Netflix’s communications about the price hike, name change, and related matters: He calls them “ham-handed” and “tone-deaf.” But I wonder how well Netflix customers would be taking the news if the company’s communications had been flawless, and if it had come up with a way better name than “Qwikster.”</p> <p>I don’t come away from Randolph’s piece entirely convinced of the righteousness–ham-handed, tone-deaf messaging aside–of what Netflix is doing. Or maybe I’m so convinced that I don’ think the company’s going far enough. I mean, if renting DVDs by mail is so unpleasant a business to be in, shouldn’t Netflix just sell, spin off, or shutter Qwikster? Sooner or later, it’s going to take one of those actions. Why not do it today, rather than complain about all the downsides of disc rentals and how they’re standing in the way of the streaming business?</p> </section> <div class="fix"></div> <h5><a href="../../2011/09/27/the-case-for-screwing-up-netflix/index.html#comments"> 4 comments</a></h5><br /> </article> <a name="comments"></a> <article class="post-48374 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-news category-original-site tag-amazoncom tag-internet-tv tag-netflix" <header> <h2 class="title entry-title"><a href="../../2011/09/24/sell-netflix-to-amazon-that-might-be-crazy-enough-to-work/index.html" rel="bookmark" title="Sell Netflix to Amazon?

Sounds like a formidable competitor to the service formerly known as Netflix, which is <a href="https://www.technologizer.com/2011/09/18/qwikster/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >about to be divvied into Netflix and Qwikster</a>.

Weirdly, given all the consternation and CEO Reed Hastings’ <a href="https://www.technologizer.com/2011/09/18/qwikster/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >mea culpa/rebranding announcement</a> this week, it’s never explained its decision in anything like a direct manner. But venture capitalist Bill Gurley has <a href="http://abovethecrowd.com/2011/09/18/understanding-why-netflix-changed-pricing/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >a logical theory</a>: Hollywood is treating Netflix like a cable company:</p> <blockquote><p>So here is what I think happened with Netflix’s recent price change (for the record, I have no inside data here, this is just an educated guess). Netflix has for the past several years been negotiating with Hollywood for the digital rights to stream movies and TV series as a single price subscription to users. Their first few deals were simply $X million dollars for one year of rights to stream this particular library of films. As the years passed, the deals became more elaborate, and the studios began to ask for a % of the revenues. This likely started with a “percentage-rake” type discussion, but then evolved into a simple $/user discussion (just like the cable business). Hollywood wanted a price/month/user.</p> <p>This is the point where Netflix tried to argue that you should only count users that actually connect digitally and actually watch a film. While they originally offered digital streaming bundled with DVD rental, many of the rural customers likely never actually “connect” to the digital product. This argument may have worked for a while, but eventually Hollywood said, “No way. Here is how it is going to work. You will pay us a $/user/month for anyone that has the ‘right’ to connect to our content – regardless of whether they view it or not.” This was the term that changed Netflix pricing.</p></blockquote> </section> <div class="fix"></div> <h5><a href="../../2011/09/19/netflix-price-hike-one-plausible-theory/index.html#comments"> 6 comments</a></h5><br /> </article> <a name="comments"></a> <article class="post-47934 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-news category-original-site tag-dvrs tag-internet-tv tag-tivo" <header> <h2 class="title entry-title"><a href="../../2011/09/07/four-times-the-tivo/index.html" rel="bookmark" title="Four Times the TiVo">Four Times the TiVo</a></h2> <span class="dek"></span> </header> <div class="post-meta"><span class="small">Posted by</span> <span class="author vcard"><span class="fn">Harry McCracken</span></span> <span class="small"> on <abbr class="date time published updated" title="2011-09-07T10:49:23-0700">September 7, 2011</abbr> at <abbr class="time published" title="2011-09-07T10:49:23-0700">10:49 am</abbr> </div> <section class="entry"> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-attachment-id="47936" data-permalink="https://technologizer.com/2011/09/07/four-times-the-tivo/tivo-4/" data-orig-file="https://technologizer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/tivo1.jpg" data-orig-size="545,225" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":""}" data-image-title="TiVo" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://technologizer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/tivo1-300x123.jpg" data-large-file="https://technologizer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/tivo1.jpg" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-47936" title="TiVo" src="https://www.technologizer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/tivo1.jpg" alt="" width="545" height="225" srcset="../../wp-content/uploads/2011/09/tivo1.jpg 545w, ../../wp-content/uploads/2011/09/tivo1-300x123.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 545px) 100vw, 545px" />At the CEDIA home electronics show in Indianapolis, TiVo announced a new TiVo: the <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20102254-1/tivo-quad-tuner-premiere-elite-on-its-way/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >Premiere Elite</a>.
