I still fear they might get it all wrong. Take the Rocketboom Podcast delivery for example. Great idea. Would be even better if Tivo users could just add any RSS feed to their device and subscribe to internet-based shows. But I fear they might mess it up and keep their platform closed to a few partners in hope of revenue that might be much bigger with open floodgates.

I like the idea of a music editor highlighting shows that are going to have worthwhile artists as guest stars, or with songs appearing during an episode. I'm not convinced there's enough new programming available on cable & network TV to make something like this work over the long term. Channels like IFC and Ovation and Fine Living are great, but I don't think they produce or air enough fresh content to give editors/content guides exciting and unseen material to choose from.

I dont think other people's content would hardly help them make any money, no matter whatsoever promotional tools they apply. So they are perfect at imitating.

Of course, there's still that nagging questions of how they would make any money aggregating other people's content.
