itsmyremote.com

for the past year, as many of you who follow my work know, I've been performing an experiment in IPTV (internet protocol television), so far, things have been going well. The way things are developing, it is clear that the current model of home entertainment is going to stay the same for very long. Everything is turning into on-demand content via broadband.

The biggest problem with IPTV is current US bandwith speeds, unlike most of the world, we are still limited as far as download speed goes. But this is rapidly changing, Verizon is attempting to bring fiber to the curb, albeit slowly. But this is currently of little importance, as my own model with itsmyremote.com is "build-it and they will come."

itsmyremote.com is a site that is somewhere in the middle of youtube.com and a television network. It will be a site that will host various podcasts, most of which will be on a weekly release schedule. With a blog like front page presenting the latest updated podcasts, people can tune in and download our latest original content.

Not all the content will be produced by Arabian Productions or Palfrey Hill Pictures, we are going to scout talent, and bring them into the itsmyremote.com catalog. Eventually expanding to host a wide variety of FREE, sponsor-based content.

itsmyremote.com will be launching October 12th with around four to five shows, including, "hello the podcast," a new action-horror podcast by John Macdonnell, an audio/video podcast by Phil Healy, a video podcast by Rob Liscombe, and maybe even more!

It is an exciting time, and we are just hanging on the wave! The blog for itsmyremote.com will be at itsmyremote.blogger.com, and the site itself will be at http://www.itsmyremote.com
