AOL's teamup with TimeWarner hasn't brought us much, but they're finally getting the gist of what they really can do!

In2TV is the first ever actual online television network. It's easy on the ads, and the HiQ mode is as good as television ever was back in the 80s. Best of all, it's absolutely free. I don't really understand the buisness model here, but since AOL owns the servers and TimeWarner owns the content, it doesn't really cost them much to provide it.

 

It's a sweet deal for us, commercial free classic TV online, but any product that doesn't take up physical space is a sweet deal for the environment too, especially when the products (Perfect Strangers / Growing Pains) have existed decades already. Squeezing every dollar out of already created products that don't physically exist and can be shipped through fiber-optic cable. Now that's how we make growth sustainable.

True geeks will be pleased to hear that the first nine episodes of B5 as well as Kung Fu (TOS) are available and more is to come. That should balance out your displeasure when I tell you that the HiQ application only works with Internet Explorer.

Happy viewing!
