CBS Launches "Innertube"

I've been watching a TV show called "Jericho" on CBS's "innertube" system which is essentially a proprietary version of youtube that features commercials. You can read a full article here: CBS Launches Broadband Channel

It's not bad, and the ability to watch any shows entire season (with commercials of course) makes it a bit like On Demand cable. The shows may be lame, cliche, American Cable Teledrama, but it beats watching another Asian poop on herself, or some kid shoot bottle rockets out of his ass...okay well...sorta.

Anyways, I'm pretty sure this is a trend we'll be seeing more and more. TV channels are well on their way to the obvious next step which is on demand services offered free via broadband internet with the usual TV style commercials. Plus, it will make some people feel less guilty as that seems to be a problem with the older generations.

Despite how cool it is to get this ability, the service is nowhere near as nice as youtube, or google videos. You just can't beat those two as far as buffer times, etc. CBS inntertube tends to be slow buffering, and with alot of glitchy video play, but that could be on my end.
