Cable beware! Verizon isn't just talking, they're doing video now! Tivo wake up!
Verizon close to signing deal with YouTube to distribute on-demand video over their mobile and FiOS networks.

Why isn't Tivo in on this yet?

I just sent them the following email:
Dear Tivo,
Please let me use your device to subscribe to my favorite video RSS feeds, so I can access them through your pretty interface and watch on my TV.

You can bridge the gap today. Please do it. We're all waiting, having to watch NBC in the meantime. Help.

Best,
Zach Klein

Update: Forbes agrees. They wrote a similar letter.

As long as you have TiVo connected to your network, you can already listen to podcasts, view RSS feeds and view select video podcasts (Rocketboom and the NYT are two I subscribe to). There's also some great third party stuff for TiVo too. I agree that they need to speed things up and expand on this though.

Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old.

I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook.

I live in Brooklyn now.
