Summary: In the future consumers will no longer be bound to a specific time frame to view their favorite television shows. The show will simply be made available on a certain date and downloaded (possibly through an RSS feed and viewed at the convenience of the consumer). The show may then be archived for future referral.
The future is here when it comes to video streaming. Consumers may not fully comprehend the changes that have taken place nor have television producers come to fully appreciate the possibilities in video streaming, but the pieces are in place for a revolution in video consumption.
DVD rental locations are feeling the shift. Now consumers can download movies to watch via their computer. No longer do they have to visit the local DVD store to see if any copies are available, nor do they have to wait on shipments from those mail order DVD firms. Nope, now they simply wait for an online download and they can begin watching in a matter of minutes.
This is the same video streaming technology that is allowing entertainment consumers the opportunity to view movie trailers and teasers for upcoming television shows.
