It delivers programmes through your internet connection which is not unlike a number of other services out there. There is one notable difference though, compared to other offerings. You can choose for a payment-based subscription similar to other services or you can buy programmes you want to keep. Or else you can select to go for a free service that is sponsored by ads. And to make sure the ads are relevant to you, you get to choose what sort advertisments you are interested in. For example, if you are planning on getting engaged, you can choose to have adverts of diamond rings shown to you over other, say NFL products which might not interest you at all. That’s a great way to give control to the viewer, isn’t it?

On, there is one other great thing about ZillionTV. It comes with a remote thats motion sensitive; you know, like the one the Wii uses; imagine the applications.

The big challenge for ZillionTV now is to ensure that the have the capabilities and program options to get subscribers engaged. There are concerns that big networks who have their own offerings in this space may not provide ready access to their content. See what happened to Boxee and Hulu …
