OK! TV. Its neither: Channel 5s new show aims low and misses | Media | The Guardian

Photograph Channel 5 There are launches, soft launches and deliberately comprehensive exercises in expectation-lowering. The show it replaced, the justifiably maligned Live From Studio Five, was an inept mishmash that seemed to prove conclusively Channel 5 could not be trusted with another daily light entertainment show. There may have been worse portents of quality than this, but not many. - guardian.co.uk

informitv - YouView delays launch raising further doubts

YouView has conceded that it will not launch its broadband enabled television platform before 2012, confirming industry doubts about progress with the project. In an announcement presenting the postponement as an update on launch timings YouView said that it will have a product in trial by the end of the year, with a full consumer launch planned in early 2012. The prospects for the platform, backed by the BBC and a consortium of broadcasters and network operators, appear increasingly uncertain as a result. - informitv.com

However, she points out that with only 140,000 3D compatible television screens installed in the United Kingdom, the addressable audience is currently still small. 3D is interesting but it is not central at the moment, she said, and would not be drawn on what projects the BBC would be backing in 3D. In working in 3D there are a couple of things that we are looking to find out. - informitv.com

YouView delayed again, signs its own death certificate | Crave | CNET UK

Even if the service could magically arrive tomorrow, it still wouldn't have much of a chance, given the prevalence of online-service 'portals' on Blu-ray players and TVs. A 2012 launch achieves only one thing, and that's to allow Sony, Samsung and LG to develop better and better online features on their hardware, which do essentially the same job as a YouView box will. Even Panasonic, which currently operates the weakest portal, will have a much improved version up and running this year. - crave.cnet.co.uk

Now Sky looks set for a walloping from the Competition Commission on its movies services its preliminary view is that the broadcaster is making excess profits. - independent.co.uk

Filesharing prosecutions will face serious problems, says judge | Technology | guardian.co.uk

Judge Birss QC said on Tuesday that the process of connecting copyright infringement to a named individual based on their use of an internet address is fraught with difficulties because internet connections, or IP addresses, are often used by more than one person. That could create serious problems for copyright owners seeking to enforce their rights under the Digital Economy Act. Beyond that, copyright owners might be able to take people to court or demand that their internet connection is throttled or constrained. - guardian.co.uk

Our source, who works within the television broadcast industry, tells us that, while they believe YouView is still on the cards, the new venture will be pushed back by 12 months, rather than the six revealed by the Daily Mail back in January. - pocket-lint.com
