Time Warner's TV Everywhere trials to start... sometime

It's been over a month since Comcast and Time Warner announced their TV Everywhere internet video service, and while we've seen some impressive content deals get made since then, there hasn't been much word on how the service will work, or even when it'll launch. That's starting to slowly change today, as Time Warner's announced that 5,000 lucky customers in "select markets" will be involved in a trial that's starting "over the next few months." No word yet on how much this'll cost or what extra shows or movies you might be able to get, but at least it's something -- and if Time Warner or Comcast need any extra help testing this out, we know a few people who'll be more than willing to help.

Why do people need this? There is netflix, hulu, all the networks have free streaming of their shows as well as other ways and all those are free except netflix which most people have these days anyways.

Too little too late TW.

I agree... Who needs all these? Still, competitions will help consumers in this case. :)

Blockbuster does a pretty good job of online DVD rental as well. I have used them a year back and have just started a new trial. I think I'll stick with them this time. They have worked well for me (as well as Netflix).

By the way, I think you can now get a free SIX-WEEK trial at Blockbuster. Not sure how much longer they will be running the promotion.
