Yesterday afternoon I finally got some time to play with AOL’s new In2TV service. Right now it is a selection of old Warner Bros owned TV shows that you can stream or download. Being able to watch Brisco County Jr again brings a tear to my eye, but there are both good and bad sides to it.
The Cons:
1. Even though they ask you to install an extension for it, using it on Firefox just feels a little flaky.
2. Not the easiest interface to understand.
The Pros:
1. I like the ability to “subscribe” to different shows via the Hi-Q service.
2. It offers at least some free competition to the TV and movie pirates out there. If somebody was able to make something like this easier than working with BitTorrent, then you have Internet gold.
It isn’t perfect, but it shows a lot of promise.
