What do you guys think of this new HBO on Broadband thing? I mean, I obviously like the downloading part but having to install a program to view the content and not being able to transfer it to a mobile device doesnt make much sense to me.
While most networks have embraced browser-based streaming video, HBOs programming is to be watched in a separate computer application that downloads shows to the hard drive. It may face several hurdles: the program is available only on Windows PCs initially; the downloaded content cannot yet be transferred to portable devices; and the content expires four weeks after being downloaded.
