Monica won’t be able to watch Heroes on her video iPod
NBC Universal, which pulled its TV shows off of iTunes earlier this year after a well-publicized spat with Apple, has announced plans to offer shows via SanDisk’s new online video-download service. Under the agreement, NBCU shows could be downloaded onto SanDisk’s new PC-to-TV video player, TakeTV, which allows users download content from a USB port, and then playback the video on a television set.SanDisk has launched a download site called Fanfare, and NBCU plans to start offering content on the site in January. One drawback I see is that the shows will only play through the TakeTV system.
NBC shows that are expected to be available in January include The Office, Heroes, and 30 Rock. The new deal with SanDisk will allow NBCU the flexibility in pricing and packaging that Apple wouldn’t give them.
