Is FasTV the next Broadcast.com? By Matthew Broersma, ZDNet Friday May 28 8:47 PM ET It's one of those ideas that seems so obvious, you wonder why no one thought of it before: a service that lets you search TV programming for news and information just the way you'd search the Internet. A startup called FasTV Inc. is now offering just such a service, and industry observers so far are giving its technology and concept high marks. "There are other people who stream video [online], but who wants to sit through an hour show at 28.8 speeds? It's a painful experience," said Bill Swegles, FasTV's president and chief operating officer. "We let you see just the parts you want to see." dailynews.yahoo.com Best O'Luck! Tom

OT Bought another for the household ( but will never buy a Mitsubishi again unless the mysterious settlement was large..lol), but my main TV is Sony XBR from 1980 or so. I think HDTV will come on faster than expected too, Carl. As premium cable channels try to differentiate themselves from one another...then as networks increase HDTV content etc. Natural laws of competitive survival will come into play. All of that would mean nothing if the picture was no big deal...but it is unquestionably a knockout to my eyes. The brief FAQ at this link is worth reading, in my opinion. marketing.cbs.com Off to attempt an AXC snooze once more. But will sometimes lurk as I shirk. Do enjoy the thoughts and research of the many fine posters on this board.
