How a Paid Hulu Would Work
AllThingsD's Peter Kafka is busy dousing concerns that recent statements by News Corp's Chase Carey—that "It's time to start getting paid for broadcast content online"—mean that Hulu is going to die, dead. He makes a good point: More » -

Blerg! 30 Rock and Other Major Shows Leaving Netflix On Demand
I love Netflix On Demand precisely because it lets me watch 30 Rock episodes whenever I want. So I was horrified to notice, just now, that 30 Rock was going bye-bye on Oct. 1—along with other great shows. More » -

Netflix Streaming Finally on TiVo
Netflix has revealed the receiver of its next golden ticket of content distribution partnerships, and it's TiVo! The DVR company is the latest team member of Netflix's ever expanding movie download empire, and subscribers to TiVo's Series3, HD, and HD XL sets can now stream cinema directly to their TVs. And from this screenshot, its apparent that you can browse titles instead of having to queue them up on a PC first. This is much better than the Netflix-Tivo venture they put forth over a year ago and more like our wishes for a Tivo-Netflix marriage over a year ago. More » -

Amazon Video-On-Demand Official on Sony's Bravia Internet Video Link, HD Films Too
We've been bringing you news on Sony's Bravia Internet Video Link for ages (it's that net-connected, wired, Bravia-TV compatible movie-player device) and now Sony's announcing official support for Amazon's Video on Demand service. So you'll have "tens of thousands of premium movies and TV shows" for the device, and more importantly "streaming high-definition content" from Dailymotion, Sony Pictures Entertainment and other providers will be available too. Since it also streams YouTube and other sources, is it possible that the $300 BIVL may make a dent in the home-streaming HD TV market? It could, with the might of Amazon and the sheer number of Bravias sold alone. Press release below. More » -

Could couch-based Amazon shopping on your TV be far behind? More » -

Vudu Finally Gets Wireless Kit (Works Fine, Expensive by Competitive Measures)
So many products, including the $100 Roku Netflix box, come with wireless, so it was surprising that the $300 Vudu broadband video-on-demand box requires a hard Ethernet connection. Today Vudu announces an $80 Vudu-branded Ethernet-to-802.11g bridge kit built by Asus. I tried it over the weekend, and it worked great. More »
