After being offline for three days I was behind on everything, just as things got very busy with work.  I&#8217;m running three beta programs for Sling, two of which end today (announcement pending) and the third is the BlackBerry beta &#8211; which you may have seen that we&#8217;re going to public beta on 12/30.  It has been one thing after another and the next thing I knew a week had passed&#8230;</p><p>And during that week TiVo has added a bunch of content to TiVoCast.  Let&#8217;s dive right in.</p><p><a
href="http://www.beautynetwork.tv/" class="broken_link">Beauty TV</a> describes themselves as:</p><blockquote><p>Welcome to Beauty TV&reg;, the world&#8217;s only 24/7 Beauty TV Network and soon a daily syndicated TV show. In order to launch The Beauty TV Network (BTVN), the company has assembled a team with former professionals from the beauty, technology &#038; film industry, Sony, &#8220;E!&#8221; and EXTRA.</p></blockquote><p><a

href="http://beyondthetrailer.indymogul.com/" class="broken_link">Beyond the Trailer</a> is from <a
href="http://www.indymogul.com/">Indy Mogul</a>, which has had its own TiVoCast channel <a
href="http://www.gizmolovers.com/2007/08/24/two-more-tivocast-channels/">since August, 2007</a>.  BTT&#8217;s blurb is:</p><blockquote><p>First impressions are important &#8211; but they can also be deceiving!  Nobody sells quite like Hollywood.  That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to go &#8220;Beyond The Trailer&#8221;!  Host Grace Randolph covers industry expectations, behind the scenes gossip, and audience reactions so you get the ultimate profile on the latest movies.</p></blockquote><p><a

href="http://www.koldcast.tv/">KoldCast</a> also joined the lineup, after <a
href="http://www.gizmolovers.com/2008/12/05/koldcast-tv-coming-to-tivocast/">the news broke earlier this month</a>.  KoldCast <a
href="http://www.koldcast.tv/index.php/about_koldcast_tv/">describes themselves</a>, in part, thusly:</p><blockquote><p>KoldCast is seriously selective about entertainment programming.  While YouTube-style videos are often entertaining, and you’ll see some of the very best here, we are confident that you’ll also enjoy watching the very best shows, movies, extreme sports, comedy, music, and no-BS news, all produced at the next level.</p></blockquote><p>KoldCast adds a number of channels to TiVoCast. <a
href="http://www3.tivo.com/tivo-tco/cds/info.do?mixId=tivo:mx.7481301" class="broken_link">KoldCast Action Sports</a> currently has one channel.  TiVo Central -> Video on Demand -> Browse free videos -> All -> KoldCast Action Sports</p><p>KoldCast Comedy has four sub-channels: duder, The In-Betweens of Holly Malone, Poor Paul, and The Sexually.  Oddly, the entire KoldCast Comedy lineup seems to be missing from the <a
href="http://www.tivo.com/tivocast" class="broken_link">TiVoCast web page</a>, so you&#8217;ll have to sign up on the TiVo: TiVo Central -> Video on Demand -> Browse free videos -> All -> KoldCast Comedy</p><p><a
href="http://www3.tivo.com/tivo-tco/cds/info.do?mixId=tivo:mx.7481261" class="broken_link">KoldCast Music</a> currently has two sub-channels, <a
href="http://www3.tivo.com/tivo-tco/cds/title.do?partnerMixId=tivo:mx.7481261&amp;channelMixId=tivo:mx.7481281" class="broken_link">Let It Be Heard</a> and <a
href="http://www3.tivo.com/tivo-tco/cds/title.do?partnerMixId=tivo:mx.7481261&amp;channelMixId=tivo:mx.7481291" class="broken_link">Gemini Rising</a>.  TiVo Central -> Video on Demand -> Browse free videos -> All -> KoldCast Music</p><p><a
href="http://www3.tivo.com/tivo-tco/cds/info.do?mixId=tivo:mx.7481361" class="broken_link">KoldCast SciFi and Horror</a> also has two sub-channels, <a
href="http://www3.tivo.com/tivo-tco/cds/title.do?partnerMixId=tivo:mx.7481361&amp;channelMixId=tivo:mx.7481381" class="broken_link">TV Face</a> and <a
href="http://www3.tivo.com/tivo-tco/cds/title.do?partnerMixId=tivo:mx.7481361&amp;channelMixId=tivo:mx.7481431" class="broken_link">After Judgment</a>.  TiVo Central -> Video on Demand -> Browse free videos -> All -> KoldCast SciFi and Horror   (BTW, TiVo has misspelled it as &#8216;After Judgement&#8217; both online and on the TiVo interface.)</p><p><a
href="http://www.mommycast.com/">MommyCast</a> is a departure from the above:</p><blockquote><p>MommyCast.com is a unique online audio company by and for women immersed in the fullness of motherhood and life, “holding the world together, one child at a time.”&copy;<br
/> MommyCast.com is first and foremost about moms and motherhood, and our shows offer great interviews with thought leaders on the subjects of:<br
/> • community<br
/> • health issues<br
/> • new products for the home<br
/> • travel<br
/> • food and nutrition<br
/> • technology and new music: MommyCast Music Show<br
/> • education<br
/> • helpful hints, shortcuts and diversions.</p></blockquote><p>So <i>very</i> much not for me.  I&#8217;m a single guy who doesn&#8217;t want kids, and isn&#8217;t a big fan of them in general in anything by small doses.  But I have friends with kids and TiVo who may be interested.</p><p><a

href="http://www.gizmolovers.com/2008/12/16/tivocast-lands-new-content/">last week&#8217;s post</a> I&#8217;ve watched the four available episodes of jPod -and I quite like it.  I&#8217;m looking forward to more downloads.  I looked it up, looks like it is a failed TV series out of Canada with 13 episodes total.</p><p>truTV is still limited to just REHAB for content, I wonder when we&#8217;ll start to see more content as promised.</p><p>I noticed the aspect ratio on some of the podcasts this week seemed to be improved, but I&#8217;m still seeing too much 16:9 content squished into 4:3 encodes.  Like I said last week, I know full-screen 16:9 encodes are possible, some podcasts do it right, so let&#8217;s see more of it.  All of the Revision3 shows are 16:9 and nicely encoded &#8211; but they&#8217;re completely windowboxed, full-screen would be nice.</p><p>Also, it looks like 3 Minute Ad Age was glitching again.  For most of the week I got two of every episode, but at the end of the week it seemed to correct itself.  Hopefully that will stick.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.gizmolovers.com/2008/12/23/tivo-adds-lots-more-content-to-tivocast/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
