Yahoo! News - Microsoft Launches Portable TV Service

Yahoo! News - Microsoft Launches Portable TV Service

I think at $20/year (no one is fooled by the $19.95 ploy) this is a good idea, depending upon what content will be available and what devices will be supported. This needs to get beyond Microsoft portable devices and I can see a real need for this on the laptop, particularly among the road-warrior businessman crowd. The biggest killer I can see is the content. People are going to want to catch the missed episodes of "Medium." What would be the ultimate is some kind of tie in with TiVo like devices, but that probably already exists.
