Re: Does Catch Up TV / On Demand Have A Future?

258 million hours watched On Demand in H1 2011, 60% of the 2010 total
There is no denying that on demand is incredibly popular. The viewing figures are staggering.

The point I'm making is will they be so popular in say 5 to 8 years time when the majority of customers should be on TiVo? If TiVo is continually recording your favourite programmes for you, and new programmes you'll probably like, why would you ever need to use On Demand again?

Then TiVo has failed It has not picked up your viewing habits and let you down badly. If however all the hype about TiVo is true, this is a problem you will not have to worry about.
