TW Cable debuts PhotoShow TV
Cory Bergman July 25th, 2006
Oceanic Time Warner Cable in Hawaii says it’s the first cable company in the country to allow subscribers to upload photos and video to a TV channel. Here’s how PhotoShow TV works: subscribers (who also have to be Road Runner broadband subs) download an application that organizes all their photos and video on their computer. They pick what they want to upload, hit a button, and if it passes muster (no bad stuff) it’s made available on demand on TV. Viewers use their remote to navigate through the menus of categories to play it back. Hmmm. Great idea or is this just better left on the internet?

Great idea for at least two reasons:
1) It hasn’t been done yet, and consumers love new stuff.
2) You’ll be able to surf from your couch with a remote, so potato chip makers are excited about the news as well.
I could see this taking off. For families who use the computer only casually, I could definitely see them making an event out of gathering around the tube and viewing/sharing content with relatives/friends in other TW markets. Hopefully New York will get it soon!

can anyone view them?
sounds good, but it also could be just as boring (and have some of the terrible production values) as some current public access shows. (trust me, I used to work in a photo lab at CVS)
