Comments on: Mike Ramsay’s CES talk http://www.gizmolovers.com/2005/01/07/mike-ramsays-ces-talk/ TiVo, Slingbox, Android, Blu-ray Disc, and whatever other tech I feel like blogging about...

There wasn't any comment on how those relationships would work since this is all a little ways off.What I found the most interesting was the fact that the HME allows for RSS feeds. Conceptually, you could present an analog of Podcasting for TiVo - assuming you have server space. You could also read LJ on your TV using your TiVo box as a thin client.You also didn't mention the fact that simple games were also developed (Tic Tac Toe, a version of Connect Four, etc.) and provided as another example of content ideas.It seems that the HME also tie in to how the NetFlix relationship might work.I'm planning on stopping by the booth on Saturday afternoon to say hi to Deb and ask more questions! I'm so excited by what I saw today! Must have more... When I was at the booth today, we talked at length about the HME and methods of distribution.

At $50-$100 for a dual tuner DTV reciever and $5 per account/month (with higher programming packages even including montly account for free) that does kind of skew the results compared to the Stand Alone TiVo costs...

But when I got back to the show I have a few questions to ask, and that's on my mind.Now, two people in the booth yesterday told me that 'TiVoToComeback' (they've even started using that term) will be coming, for sure. If you haven't heard that, it is what people have been calling the ability to send video back from a PC to a TiVo.So if this does happen, I could easily see being able to publish video from a PC to the net, like you can with music and photos today.
