There must be some valid reasons that rocketboom is more likely to be compared to TV than other videoblogs are. Certainly to me it appears to have borrowed more from traditional TV shows than many other videoblogs. I bet that for every difference between rocketboom & traditional TV that you can come up with, I can come up with a similarity.
If such comparisons offend you then tough, you should have used a more original format in the first place, rather than defending yourself by making proclamations about how little others understand new media. It certainly felt lik an old media experience when the promised h264 PSP feed not only failed to materialise as scheduled, but the PSP version dissapeared completely without obvious explanation.
