To me it all makes sense if the programming is not "scheduled". I didnt see
the point in that. But certainly saving favorites (whether locally like a
DVR, or just bookmarking) makes a lot of sense.

 Hank -

I was thinking more than just VOD.  I was thinking more of a way to "mark"
certain shows (episodes) then either store the custom playlist (ie. my
favorites) or yah right a DVR solution.  I've got EyeTv along with Titan TV
and Toast (Mac)  where I can pick a list of "regular" broadcast TV shows and
have them written to my Mac by a schedule I create.  Toast in this case
works like a DVR.

So I'm brainstorming here on combining BOTH VOD and/or DVR capabilities to
a "Content Machine" like Red5.  A DVR solution might be not a good idea, but
creating a "my favorite" list (custom personalized playlist) so that when
you revisit a site... your content of VOD is pre-selected?

hank williams said the following:

But why not just do VOD? If you have scheduled programming then you have
to have a DVR type recorder, but if you have VOD then people can watch when
they want, right? Or am I missing something?
