New UK VOD service.
A new digital download services was announced by the three big TV companies in the UK- BBC, ITV and C4. Believe me - this is going to be a great service. C4 have been winning many awards for their 4OD service as well as being popular with "da youf" market. See. I have not lost my ability to talk with the younger generation.

Works tough....
Spent a couple of hours this afternoon working on a special project - playing content around the home! yep, its work folks and i'm getting paid for it!
Looking at bringing in video, music, pictures or text into the home, storing it on Network Attached Storage, PC or say a PVR! From here, we look to either stream it around the home (or move it to other compatible devices in the home). One interesting test case i saw a couple of weeks ago was a Sony Cybershot camera with photos on it. It looks for compatible devices on the wireless network. Camera finds a new digital TV. We could then view the photos (which were still on the camera) on the TV. As you flicked through the pictures on the camera they updated on the TV (via the wireless link). Very cool way for the family to share and look at photos.
All the consumer electronics companies are bringing our more compatible devices. If you interested check out www.dnla.org You find find out how it works and also devices that are out there in the marketplace now!
Not only can it handle photo's, but also music and video. So if you want to watch a video upstairs you can stream it from the PVR or NAS! No more cupboards full of DVD's, or finding the case but no DVD inside. With DNLA you can search all available storage for the title you want!
Good news is that the PS3 is DLNA enabled......and so is the PSP. Mmmmhh. Might have to start looking at funding for the home! Now for that 4 Terrabyte NAS!
