SEARCH ANY STORY YOU HEAR ON THE PODCAST
Television’s End
by Andrew McCaskey
The Times Online story concerning television is probably the most interesting of the group today because it is just confirming the role and activity of television consumption in our home. The Tivo was a game changer when it arrived more than five years ago, and it has totally shaped our viewing experience. In fact, other than the evening news -which we still consume a few days a week in HD over the air realtime, 90% of our video is from the Tivo, still in standard resolution analog. Our $40 converter boxes are going to go on the two Tivos.
On the other hand, the three minute YouTubes and other content through AppleTV are going up – we usually spend an hour a week total going thorough the movie trailers on the flat screen, and then upscale a DVD for a movie night maybe one night out of the weekend.
The Times Story assures us that we are … normal.
