You View specs
More info about You view here There is also a link in the article to a PDF file if you can be bothered to read it.
i see that the minimum hard drive is a 320Gb in which 30GB will be reseved for material pushed to the device by content providers. 320Gb is a bit rubbish to be honest if, certainly with HD. minimum should be 500Gb, hard drives will be even cheaper by then. I don't like the idea of 30Gb being held back so content providers can shove their stuff onto it, that will be like Sky anytime. If they are going for a TVoIP system then that is what it should be, not a push TV system. Saying that by the time this box is launched there wiull be so many different ways of getting T.V online that I think it will just fail to take off anyway. Having Talk Talk on board will stop me ever having anything to do with the platform and I am certainly not going to have a box that have content pushed to it. |

If they are going for a TVoIP system then that is what it should be, not a push TV system. Might also help for HD content where streaming might be problematic! |

We will see. No doubt at some point it will be used to chuck adverts at people and push content that people are not interested in.

We have the specs & know/think we know who/what will launch on YouView, so what do you think will or hope will launch?
These I guess will: - BBC iPlayer - ITV/STV/UTV Player - 4OD - Demand 5 - BT Vision services - TalkTalk TV services - SeaSaw Also interested: - Local TV services - Government Services - LoveFilm - Sky Player These I think could be good to add: - Qriocity - Picturebox - TVCatchUp (doubt this will though) What do you think? |

Not worth guessing what will be on you View, the whole system could fail for a start.
If it does take off , then yes no doubt it will have the main channels on demand service, mind you that depends how much you view will charge them. I did not Talk Talk had a t.v service as such? I know they pinched Tiscali t.V service, but I don't think many people used it. Oh yes the so called local T.v that the government wants us to have, I don't see the point myself, because no doubt ours will be stuck in with Brum, so it will all be about Brum and nothing at all about us. I had a look at lovefilm on the PS3, they gave me 2 hours free and the quality was ok, but content was pretty poor, they wanted me to update my subscription so I can get films Online, I don't think that is going to happen. they gave up now. if they allow people to rent a video online without subscribing to there main service then they may do ok. i think Seesaw is a total waste of time, well it is via computer anyway, it will have to be a lot better on YouView. for You View to be any good, we need a better broadband system and it will be years for some people to get that, if they get it at all. |
