"From Yahoo Next, I learned that Yahoo TV is (semi) up and running (still in beta). More from the site: “Now you can take Yahoo! off your computer and put it in your living room for everyone to see. View photos, search for video clips and watch movie trailers on your TV. Plus, your own digital video recorder (DVR) lets you record and watch your favorite shows anytime for free.”" http://go.connect.yahoo.com/go/tv Thought ya might find this new development interesting…

Sometimes when you stream online you get the "buffering" thing --- well sometimes, esp. in my house the buffering is just permanent. Im pertty sure it works like streaming.

For example, in Federal Hill(Baltimore for you NYC people) digital cable and OnDemand as they call it is a far fetched laugh.
