The online video site Veoh (backed by Michael Eisner) is beta testing a new online service that it describes as a DVR for online video. VeohTV allows you to watch online video from NBC, ABC, MySpace, YouTube and other video sites using a TV-like guide and even a remote control. So for example, VeohTV can pull in Grey’s Anatomy and play it outside ABC’s player, without ABC’s permission. “This could be controversial as content companies may want to keep their own branding and player experience,” explains Rafat Ali in PaidContent. To say the least, and Veoh is in discussion with various media companies to come up with some kind of revenue share arrangement.
VeohTV’s interface looks pretty slick — think of it as Joost but with an open video ecosystem — and you can try to get invited for the beta test here.
