The Tech Specs of HD Netflix Streaming
Hats off to Netflix. Without really being prompted, they've released their HD encoding/streaming specifications for the world to see. The company revealed that they originally considered a WMV3 (Windows Media Player 9) codec running at 4000kbps and 5500kbps, but opted instead for a similar Microsoft codec, the VC1AP running between 2600kbps and 3800kbps—which should provide a better experience for those of us with lower bandwidths.

TiVo Cheats on Amazon for Disney Content
While TiVo's offered Amazon Unbox downloads for some time, apparently TiVo isn't opposed to playing the field. The company just signed another video on demand partner, Cinemanow, to bring in Disney content. Their library is tiny with only 1,500 titles and we're not certain whether TiVo will only be accessing their Disney content. But there are two things we really like about this deal. More » -

ABC Online Player Getting Solid Upgrades
ABC is making some notable upgrades to their video streaming website. The service will now offer full-screen viewing, closed captioning and the option to embed videos a la YouTube—all on top of a more robust search engine. Apparently after being the first network video player online, it's leading over the market with 8.9 million unique views monthly. Let's hope upgrades like this keep online network competition fierce, and force these powerful companies to keep wooing us with more features and better functionality. [reuters] -

Native Orb App Brings Live TV to Your iPhone
The OrbLive streaming media app is for everyone who is sick of waiting for a Sling Mobile client on their iPhone. As you may (or may not) know, Orb pulls files off your PC and streams them to any device with an app or web browser capable of accessing the Orb interface. From there you can stream music, video files, and if you have a TV tuner card, live TV. While Orb was previously accessible via Safari, this new, official app is supposed to be an easier, more intuitive way to get your media on the go. It does require a jailbroken iPhone, however. Check out the video of the client in action. [Orb via Register Hardware] More »
