10/12 A product i'd buy: like tivo except the subscription service
sends the timecode of the advertisements in your area over
your existing isp. then the tivo thing delays the show long
enough to splice them all out automatically.
\_ Tivo runs linux. Just get your local 311T3 H@X0012 to
/
is this "12" a hex DC2, octal NL, decimal NP, or what?
\_ 12 is the 311T3 way of writing R
change it for you.
\_ The problems: 1) Automatically recognizing commercials is a
HARD problem, which would be necessary for the system to work.
As soon as commercial recognition keys in on something, the
TV stations whill change things, making it a losing battle.
2) The networks would throw a shitfit and do everything they
can to stop your product. They are annoyed enough with
ReplayTV's skip-30-seconds button.
\_ There are VCR's that do this already. They've been out
for 3 or 4 years at least.
\_ As much as I love my TiVo, this is one area my VCR kicks
it's butt in - it does a very good job of automatically
recognizing & skipping commercials.
\_ What brand/model?
\_ Just do it the Hadden Industries(tm) way.
Autodetect sudden increase in volumn level. Aha! its a
commercial
\_ I'm thinking they pay someone to watch it live and log the
ad boundaries. that's the value-added service: provide
me with a list of advertisement intervals I can use to
remove my own ads. better than pbs donations! |
