In 2018, why the heck is it that I can't click on something to indicate, "I want to watch this," then I get a notification when it airs, and have a list of shows/events now available to watch? If media companies want their advertisements to be worthwhile, why don't they get their act together and do this?
The answer is that they will try to implement this only for their own company, and this will fail. Such a thing could only succeed with a standard that everyone used.
- toephu2 8y agoIt is the year 2018, and indeed most DVRs do already provide this functionality...
- stcredzero 8y agoSure, but the fact that I have to be tethered to an expensive optional device my living room, subject to a particular walled garden to get not even the full range of this functionality is pretty backwards. Why can't I just see a random ad or review somewhere on a web browser or on my phone and have that? The fact that I'd need a DVR and that it would only work for one company's systems is backwards considering the wealth of infrastructure that already exists.
