Sony could be the latest company to try taking on the cable industry with an over-the-top video service. According to The Wall Street Journal, the consumer electronics manufacturer is in talks with media companies about launching a TV-like service that would be delivered to its PlayStation 3 game console and other connected devices.
Sony has approached multiple media companies about the proposal, which would create a bundle of TV channels that would be streamed into consumers’ homes. The idea is to create an Internet-based alternative to pay TV services offered up by existing cable and satellite companies, with potentially lower prices and more flexibility for consumers.
In some ways, the offer would make sense: Sony already has a huge potential customer base, as it would offer the service through various devices such as its Internet-connected TVs, Blu-ray players and the PlayStation 3. The PS3, in particular, is particularly interesting: The device has sold more than 18 million units in the U.S., and already has a huge number of users streaming videos from services like Netflix and Hulu Plus.
Cable, satellite and IPTV providers are already under pressure due to increasing prices and a weak economy. The number of new subscribers in the U.S. has largely been flat over the last few years, as consumers have bought fewer new homes and have been forced to think twice about discretionary spending.
At the same time, over-the-top video services are growing dramatically. Despite a loss of subscribers due to a pricing change earlier this year, Netflix still had 40 percent more subscribers at the end of the third quarter than a year ago. And services like Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime Videos also seem to be taking off.
If history is any guide, however, Sony is unlikely to succeed in its efforts to propose an over-the-top alternative to cable. Multiple device makers over the last few years have attempted to build TV-like bundles of content to be distributed over the Internet, including both Microsoft and Apple. Despite having large numbers of rabid customers, both were unable to convince big media companies to get on board.
The main issue for media companies is the potential of alienating their existing distributors and reducing viewership through traditional distribution models. Digital distribution is providing some incremental dollars to media companies for library or long-tail content, but they’re afraid over-the-top services could cannibalize their existing viewership and revenues. So while Sony — like Microsoft and Apple before it — is most likely interested in a streaming linear TV offering, it wouldn’t be surprising to see it roll out a subscription video-on-demand service like Netflix or Amazon Prime Videos instead.

Netflix UK Signs Miramax Films
To contact us Click HERE
Miramax is the latest film studio to sign on to Netflix‘s streaming service in the UK and Ireland, with a planned launch early next year. Financial terms of the multi-year licensing agreement were not disclosed.
It’s not clear how much of Miramax’s back-catalog will be made available, nor how soon new releases will make their way to the service. Presumably, many if not all of the “hundreds” of Miramax films available through Netflix’s U.S. and Latin America services should be included.
In a statement, both companies mentioned that Pulp Fiction, Chicago, Cold Mountain, The English Patient, Good Will Hunting, The Aviator, Bad Santa, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Chocolat, Finding Neverland, Gangs of New York, The Hours, Kate & Leopold, Rounders, Sling Blade, The Talented Mr. Ripley, and several of the Scary Movie, Scream and Hellraiser films would be made available.
In recent weeks, both Lionsgate and MGM have agreed to bring an exclusive set of content to Netflix. Miramax’s deal is not exclusive, however; it already markets its own set of streaming content to users in the UK (and elsewhere) via a Facebook app called the Miramax eXperience.

Flixster hands out iTunes codes to unhappy UltraViolet users
To contact us Click HERE
How bad are things for Hollywood’s UltraViolet initiative right now? So bad that Warner Bros., the studio behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2, is giving away coupon codes for the movie to Apple’s iTunes store to placate unhappy customers.
UltraViolet was meant to improve the user experience for movie buyers, by allowing them to purchase a title once and watch it on multiple devices afterward. But the initial implementation of UltraViolet, which relies on Warner Bros.’ Flixster app to stream and download movies online that consumers bought in Blu-ray or DVD format, has been getting panned in customer reviews.
We’ve already covered customer dissatisfaction with the Flixster app in the first two UltraViolet releases, Horrible Bosses and The Green Lantern, and that dissatisfaction continues with the latest Harry Potter title. Of the more than 400 reviews for the Blu-ray version of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 on Amazon, more than half are 1-star reviews, and most of those are focused on the poor user experience for UltraViolet. That’s bad news for Warner Bros., which was hoping that a major franchise like Harry Potter could help introduce even more new users to the UltraViolet digital format.
It’s such bad news, in fact, that Flixster has sought to appease unhappy users by offering them the ability to download the movie for free from Apple’s iTunes instead. As pointed out by BTIG analyst Richard Greenfield, Flixster has begun issuing iTunes coupon codes to users who issue complaints at support.ultraviolet.flixster.com. Multiple reviewers claim to have gotten access to the iTunes version of the Harry Potter film, and Greenfield even got Flixster to comp him a copy without providing an actual UltraViolet code to prove he had purchased the film.
Before the launch of UltraViolet, iTunes was a popular way for some studios to offer a digital copy of a film to consumers when they purchased a physical copy of the disc. But since Flixster is the first application to officially support UltraViolet, that’s where the studios are placing their bets. To some, UltraViolet was even seen as an alternative to iTunes, which today holds about half of all digital movie sales online.
To further complicate matters, Apple and iTunes are not part of the DECE UltraViolet consortium. In fact, Apple and partner Disney are putting their efforts behind an alternative to UltraViolet called KeyChest.
For those reasons, it seems unlikely that sending dissatisfied is a long-term solution to UltraViolet’s ills. And for studios looking to tout the advantages of their new digital movie format, pushing users to iTunes seems ill-advised. Then again, if you can’t beat ‘em…

TiVo update adds iPlayer search, proper typing and iPad app
To contact us Click HERE
TiVo is teeing up a tasty update. Virgin Media is automatically updating TiVo boxes tonight and over the next week to bring you a raft of new features.
The update to Virgin Media's clever set-top telly recorder lets you search iPlayer, type more easily and record programmes with your iPad through a new TiVo iPad app.
When you get the update, you'll be able to search BBC iPlayer using TiVo's search, catch-up and On Demand menus.
Express Series Link let you record an entire series with one click from the guide, discovery bar or programme information. Recordings will now begin one minute before a show is scheduled to start, and won't stop until four minutes after it's finished.
New parental controls lock shows after the watershed, so crafty kids can't enter the PIN and watch contraband telly.
It's now easier to type on the TiVo remote with multi-tap text entry, so you can search TiVo by typing the same way you would text on a mobile phone keypad, instead of fiddly scrolling and picking out each individual letter.
You'll also start to see the first wave of red button-style interactive services, from BBC, ITV, Sky Sports and other partners. Music On Demand, YouTube and apps have also been improved, with YouTube now in high definition and apps including Spotify.
The update will happen at 2am one day this week. You won't know which night it'll happen, so leave your TiVo box on standby overnight between now and 24 November. The update can take up to an hour, during which time you'd best not use the box.

Why Microsoft bought VideoSurf for $70 million
To contact us Click HERE
Microsoft has acquired video search specialist VideoSurf, reportedly paying upwards of $70 million for the Silicon Valley startup. The software giant plans to integrate the VideoSurf technology into its Xbox Live platform, providing more granular data about what’s happening on-screen than traditional search technology.
Microsoft is aggressively adding new content sources to Xbox Live, bringing in video content from cable providers and TV networks such as Verizon, Comcast, HBO and Epix, among others. And it’s adding a universal search layer on top of those apps, enabling Xbox Live users to search for bits of content across multiple apps and choose between them. So a user searching for Harry Potter could be shown choices from Netflix, Comcast’s video-on-demand library, HBO and Microsoft’s own Zune marketplace.
Today, that search is being driven primarily by metadata given by the content provider. But technology from VideoSurf could provide more information to Xbox Live’s search capabilities. It does that through facial recognition and other techniques that will allow Xbox Live to identify actors and other key information within a scene.
That might not be as important when a user is searching for video from a TV or film content provider like Comcast or HBO, but it could come into play as Microsoft adds more independent video content. One of the newest partners for Microsoft’s Xbox Live platform will be YouTube, which typically doesn’t have as much data associated with videos as premium content providers. That makes searching and navigating the billions of videos on YouTube a bit more difficult unless you have smart search technology to do so.
While the primary plan is for VideoSurf to be embedded into Xbox Live, it could also give Microsoft hooks into other connected boxes. VideoSurf provides the backend search technology for the Boxee Box by D-Link, for instance. The acquisition could also help differentiate Microsoft’s broader search ambitions, by providing more info for its Bing video search engine.
VideoSurf was founded in 2006 and has raised $28 million since then, from investors like former Vice President Al Gore, Current Media CEO Joel Hyatt, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, SurveyMonkey CEO David Goldberg and others.

From Death Row to Exoneration: Former Texas Prisoner Anthony Graves on Surviving Solitary Confinement
To contact us Click HERE
In a rare interview, former Texas death row prisoner Anthony Graves joins us to recount his experience in solitary confinement and how he was fully exonerated and released from prison in 2010. Graves was convicted in 1994 of assisting Robert Carter, a man he barely knew, in the brutal murders of six people. There was no physical evidence linking Graves to the crime, and his conviction relied primarily on Carter’s testimony. Before he was executed, Carter twice admitted he had lied about Graves’s involvement in the crime. In 2006, an appeals court overturned Graves’s conviction and ordered a new trial, saying prosecutors had elicited false statements and withheld testimony. After 18 years in prison, most of them on death row, Graves was exonerated and reunited with his family after a special prosecutor concluded he was an innocent man. Graves is now an active member of the movement to abolish the death penalty. "My experience was hell," Graves says. "I always liken it to something that you would consider to be your worst nightmare. I had to go through that experience every day for 18-and-a-half years. And it was just no way to live." Urging an end to the death penalty, Graves says: "They’re killing in your name. And I say to you, stand up and tell these people, 'Not in my name anymore.'"

Rick Perry Could Reach 250 Executions by End of 2012
To contact us Click HERE
250 executions under one Governor. It is an almost unbelievable number, but it could happen by the end of 2012. As of today, 243 people have been executed since Texas Governor Rick Perry took office in 2000. More people have been executed under Perry than under any other governor in U.S. history. One of the people executed under Perry was Todd Willingham in 2004, who was innocent. Rick Perry did not even consider pausing executions after it became apparent that an innocent person had been executed.
Currently, there are seven more executions scheduled in Texas this year, which would bring Perry’s total to 250. More executions could still be scheduled and some of the executions will probably be stayed.

27 Wrongfully Convicted Urge Texas Gov. Perry to Allow DNA Test for Hank Skinner
To contact us Click HERE
In a letter to Texas Governor Rick Perry, 27 exonerated ex-death row survivors—all members of the group Witness to Innocence— urged the governor to halt the execution of Hank Skinner and allow for DNA testing in his case. Skinner, who was sentenced to death for a 1995 triple murder, has a scheduled execution date of November 9.
“We, the undersigned, are alive today because some individual or small group of individuals decided that our insistent and persistent proclamations of innocence warranted one more look before we were sent to our death by execution. We are among the 138 individuals who have been legally exonerated and released from death rows in the United States since 1973, and some of us were exonerated because of DNA evidence,” the exonerees said in the letter. The group also reminded Perry that he signed SB 122 into law, a measure which is intended to ensure that DNA will be tested, if available, to prove someone’s innocence.
In a recent op-ed in the Huffington Post, Witness to Innocence member Kirk Bloodsworth, the first DNA exoneree in a capital conviction in the U.S., echoed these sentiments. “The only reason my name was cleared, and the right man brought to justice, is because prosecutors agreed to test the evidence. I am living proof that when scientific evidence is available, there is simply no excuse to refuse testing,” he said.
“Like Troy Davis in Georgia, there are some real questions regarding the Hank Skinner case. The state of Texas does not know whether Skinner committed the crime because they did not test his DNA,” said David A. Love, Executive Director of Witness to Innocence. “If Texas doesn’t want to risk killing a potentially innocent man, then Gov. Perry has no choice but to stop the execution and allow for the DNA test.”
If you would like to schedule an interview with Kirk Bloodsworth or Ray Krone, another DNA exoneree, contact Hooman Hedayati at 201-601-7231 or Kathy Spillman at 267-847-1482.
The mission of Witness to Innocence, the nation’s only organization founded by and for exonerated death row survivors, is to empower exonerated ex-death row prisoners and their family members to become effective leaders in the movement to abolish the death penalty.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - November 6, 2011CONTACT: Justice4Hank, Gilles Denizot justice4hank@gmail.comOVER 130,000 ASK GOVERNOR PERRY TO STOP HANK SKINNER'S EXECUTION
AND DEMAND DNA TESTING.Hank Skinner, a man on death row in Texas since 1995 who has consistently maintained his innocence, is set to be executed on November 9 despite untested key evidence in his case.HOUSTON, TEXAS – In less than two days, more than 130,000 people called on Texas Governor and presidential candidate Rick Perry to stay the execution and test the evidence in the murder case of Hank Skinner, who is set to be executed on November 9.On November 4, Justice4Hank, a coalition of family and supporters of Skinner, delivered 16,000 signatures (more than half of which stemming from Texans voters) to Gray County D.A. Lynn Switzer, urging her to reconsider her position in this case and to grant Mr. Skinner the DNA testing he has been seeking for a decade. There has been no reaction from Ms. Switzer's office.In a declaration under oath, filed on July 21, 2011, Gray County D.A. Lynn Switzer stated:"...At least some of the evidence that Skinner seeks for testing still exists and is in my custody, such as Twila Busby's vaginal swabs and fingernail clippings. That evidence is either at GeneScreen or in the evidence locker at the Gray County Sheriff's Department. I have not sought expert opinion on that question..." Ms. Switzer clearly confirms that the chain of custody she is responsible for has not been maintained and she also admits to be in possession of only two pieces of evidence. As for the rest of the evidence, she does not know where it is located or whether it still exists.Less than 7 days later, on July 27, 2011, the sentencing judge, Judge Emmert, signed a new death warrant for November 9, 2011, although the courts had to be fully aware that Mr. Skinner's attorneys would file a new DNA motion as soon SB 122 became applicable.On November 2, without any explanation, Judge Emmert denied the new motion for DNA testing. This decision is currently on appeal with the Court of Criminal Appeals in Austin.Immediately after, more than 85,000 added their names on a new petition asking Governor Perry to withdraw the execution warrant and to grant DNA testing to Mr. Skinner.In May 2011, the Texas legislators approved new standards for crime labs, compensation for the exonerated and revised statutes for post-conviction DNA. Gov. Perry signed those bills into law to improve and scrutinize a criminal justice system in need of reform. Considering that DNA testing has exonerated 275 prisoners in the United-States since 1989, including 43 in Texas, the overwhelming vote, both in the House and the Senate, in favor of the revised post-conviction DNA statute certainly was a welcome addition to the ongoing reforms Gov. Perry is promoting.
Governor Perry signed SB 122 into law on June 17, 2011. This bill is intended to ensure that if DNA evidence is available to prove someone's innocence, it can and will be tested. This revised post-conviction DNA law was authored and sponsored by legislators who strongly supported the bill for cases like Hank Skinner's who is set for execution on November 9, 2011. Senator Ellis, who authored the bill, stated in an interview this week that he does not understand how the court could continue to deny Mr. Skinner’s request, which he said his recent legislation would allow.
Gov. Perry, who has presided over 237 executions since taking office in 2001, must ensure that the criminal justice reforms he supports be implemented. In this respect, 17 former and current Texas elected officials as well as 27 exonerees have sent letters to Governor Perry to express their serious concerns about the lack of justice in Mr. Skinner's case. While Rick Perry campaigns for the GOP presidential nomination, Justice4Hank urges him to do the right thing for justice and for the truth in Texas, before it is too late.Live signature totals from Justice4Hank’s campaign: http://chn.ge/
- March 7, 2011 - The U.S. Supreme Court rules in Mr. Skinner's favor by 6 votes to 3.
- April 4, 2011 - The U.S. Supreme Court lifts the stay and remands the case to the lower court.
- May 20, 2011 - The Texas House approves SB 122, legislation by Senator Rodney Ellis (D-Houston) to strengthen Texas' post-conviction DNA testing law.
- June 2, 2011 - Gray County D.A. Lynn Switzer, the defendant in the civil lawsuit, files a motion for summary judgment as well as a brief in support of her motion.
- June 17, 2011 - Governor Perry signs SB 122 into law.
- July 21, 2011 - Gray County D.A. Lynn Switzer files a declaration under oath.
- July 27, 2011 - Sentencing Judge Emmert issues a new death warrant for a November 9 execution.
- September 1, 2011 - SB 122 becomes effective.
- September 2, 2011 - Hank Skinner's attorneys file a motion for DNA testing under the revised statutes as well as a motion to withdraw the death warrant.
- November 2, 2011 - Judge Emmert, without any explanation, denies the new motion for DNA testing.

The Prison System is the New Jim Crow The CEDP"s 11th Annual Convention November 11-13 At Ventana Del Soul 1834 East Oltorf, Austin, Texas
Register at: http://nodeathpenalty.org/
This November, the Campaign to End the Death Penalty is headed straight to the belly of the beast—Texas—for a weekend of struggle and organizing!
The murder of Troy Davis by the state of Georgia on September 21 horrified millions of people the world over—and has sparked a renewed national discussion of the death penalty in the United States. We will spend the weekend sharing our stories and experiences, working to build our forces and strategizing the next steps forward for our movement and our organization.The renewed national discussion about the death penalty, in the media and among activists, is about innocence and the death penalty – but it is also about the racism in the criminal justice system. It shows the urgent need to strike a final blow to capital punishment and to challenge the whole INjustice system – the system that Michelle Alexander calls the New Jim Crow. As Troy Davis said before his execution: "There are so many more Troy Davis’. This fight to end the death penalty is not won or lost through me but through our strength to move forward and save every innocent person in captivity around the globe. We need to dismantle this Unjust system city by city, state by state and country by country."The CEDP annual national convention will take up questions on how to build a movement that combats racism in the criminal justice system, supports resistance behind bars, aims to end mass incarceration and harsh punishment and makes the death penalty history. And with Governor Rick Perry running for president, the eyes of the nation are on the Texas death machine and what activists are doing to fight it – we have a chance to shine a spotlight on the death penalty in Texas with this year's convention. Click here to download the full program for the convention. To download the fill list of speakers, click here.
Featured speakers include former prisoners, family members, activists, lawyers, scholars and others: Former prisoners: Lawrence Hayes, Jazz Hayden, Mark Clements and Darby Tillis. Family members: Sandra Reed, Delia Perez Myers, Jeannine Scott, Terri Been, Barbara Lewis, Lawrence Foster Sr, Kenneth Foster Sr., and Sandrine Ageorges Skinner, Troy Davis' sister Martina Correia will address the convention via telecom along with her son DeJaun Correia. Activists: Scott Cobb, Jesse Muhammad, Jack Bryson, Jessica Escobar and Elizabeth Gilbert and many others. The convention kicks off with a Friday evening event at the University of Texas, "Southern Injustice: Fighting racism and the death penalty".
Friday, November 11th at 7 PM
Burdine Hall, Room 136, University of Texas at Austin
The panel features Sandrine Ageorges Skinner (wife of Texas death row prisoner Hank Skinner, scheduled to be killed on November 9th), Jesse Muhammad (Activist and journalist with the Nation of Islam out of Houston) and Sandra Reed (mother of Texas death row prisoner Rodney Reed.) Other sessions over the weekend include:
We ARE all Troy Davis: The struggle continues * The Prison System is the New Jim Crow * Prisoner Resistance: From Attica to DRIVE to Pelican Bay * Rick Perry, Cameron Todd Willingham and the scandal of the Texas death penalty * The Texas Law of Parties: What it is and why we need to fight it. * Not in our name: How executions create victims on both sides.
