google video

This ties in with my last post quite nicely.  FastCompany has a little blog entry about google video.  It appears that they will be looking to charge for content, and that price point is set by the content owner.  IE Trevor makes a zombie short movie.  He posts it at google for $.50 a download.  people download it and he gets cash.  I am sure google gets some of it as well.  They also appear to be looking into ads before video's.  This would possibly help offset the price of the download or make it free.

Not quite the streaming channels I was looking for, but if the content I want is inexpensive enough, and can be all downloaded / operated through my remote (IE I don't have to go to 15 different sites and use 15 different mechanisms to view/purchase).
