The digital media/video player field is getting very interesting lately with this news from Roku, the announcement of the Boxee box, the new Popcorn Hour box, the new ability to stream content via blu-ray disc players and directly by some televisions. I don’t know who the eventual winner(s) will be or exactly which approach they will take; however, I imagine that whoever can provide a box/solution that lets consumers stream content, provide some type of storage ability, provide some type of DVR capability and perhaps pull on OTA signals will do pretty well.

Those latest YouTube moves are scary and are likely to have a chilling effect on innovation in this space. I wrote this up on my blog http://bit.ly/8lAJVq I really think we, as users, need to call Google/YouTube on this because it sets a horrible precedent, and its a real step backwards for open, compatible internet video.

Please be gentle with the video commentary. I filmed it in one take before heading out of town to help handle a medical emergency. No idea what a meekrat is (or that I was dyslexic), but meercats are cute little desert creatures.
