Web TV is set to become the biggest delivery method for broadcast TV around the globe.

As broadband gets faster and faster web TV will only get bigger. Web TV is only just getting going with the big boys such as the BBC and Channel 4. They are using a file sharing model for their web TV shows which keeps costs down.

The PVR market is set to become the normal way to watch TV. Soon all TV’s will have PVR’s built in all capable of receiving web TV.

Will TiVO Be A File Sharing Model For Web TV

The TiVO can already be programmed to receive weekly shows off the web, such as the web TV show DLTV.com I can see the next step for TiVO will be a file sharing model for web tv.

In a few years when we all have fibre 100mb lines and we all have PVR’s we won’t even realise we are watching a web TV shows because our PVR will just use the web as another delivery method.

Web TV More Cost Affective Than Satellite

Web TV delivery is much more cost effective than satellite transmission and offers more control. Broadcasters will all want web TV one day. Right now if you say web TV to a broadcaster they think of YouTube not web TV at full screen at DVD quality.

Web TV is being held up by the isps right now. A lot more investment is needed in the infrastructure to make web TV a mass market product. So until the ISPs or the broadcasters invest heavily in infrastructure web TV will stay on the computer screen for the time being.
