Video Programming Wherever, Whenever
Video Programming Wherever, Whenever toggle caption Peter Kramer/Getty Images More Voices on TV's Future USC's Jeffrey Cole: Internet users watch less TV, and that marks a big shift in the way Americans spend their "at-home awake time." Younger viewers spend increasingly more time with video games and the Internet -- where choice and control are key -- and want the same experience with their television programming. Cole adds many technologies that cater to those beliefs are already here -- millions of televisions are connected to TiVOs or other digital video recorders, or to on-demand cable systems that let people watch shows whenever they want. Internet Protocol Television, or IPTV, will blur the thin line currently separating both technologies -- meaning video programming wherever, whenever, on-demand and in many different formats.
