Blockbuster to stream films to your TV?
Written by admin on April 11th, 2008 in Gadgets and Devices.
Rumors are flying about Blockbuster working on a set-top device that will stream films directly to your TV. The technology used to make this possible is rumored to be coming from Movielink, an online service for renting and downloading movies on your computer, that Blockbuster acquired last year.
The rumors are not that hard to believe considering that the company has recently reinforced its commitment to delivering content through a variety of mediums.
If Blockbuster is in fact developing its own box, it’s entering into a very crowded market. Comcast, Cox, and other cable providers already have plans to improve their own OnDemand services, not to mention TiVo’s own Unbox and of course, Apple’s latest incarnation of Apple TV.
Blockbuster needs to do something but I think the company is better off partnering with someone instead of asking us consumers to attach yet another box to our TVs.
