Set-top porn media players The other day I caught a bit of that CNBC special on porn and I saw the end of the part about dedicated set-top porn players. I missed most of the segment but they mentioned this thing at fyretv.com. You get a free player with remote that hooks up to your tv and works with your internet connection through wi-fi. It looks like it's only $10 a month(not unlimited). It doesn't seem that bad to me. I have to say it's not practical for a guy who doesn't live alone to have a porn media player hooked up to the TV, but it's cool for a single guy. I don't know anything about the video quality, library, billing issues or fine print details though. Most guys here are computer savvy enough to get their porn content playing on their TVs through different methods, but I might try this service out if it were unlimited. Anybody know anything about it. It came out last year I believe. Forgive me if this has already been discussed. Somebody can just show me the thread. | |

Something in that seems gimmicky to me - just another company coming up with a product that really doesn't do too much that you can't do by other means. DVD players are already common, and I think most TVs these days are easily hooked up to a computer with just a cable. Unless the subscription fee includes stuff that's not already out on DVD or online, I see a very limited market for it. And, like you said, having a porn box connected to your television would further limit their target group. Sarcasm is a body's natural defense against stupidity. | |

I myself will use my DVR or PS3 or 360. I mean, somehow that thing will have to get a signal, either by sat or internet. So if your gonna already have it hooked up to your network, might as well just use a device mentioned above to watch the actual porn you want. | |

FYRETV uses BOXI (and also uses Roku), similar to Roku recently out. A true neck-lover. | |

I think allot of people remember how this works. There was the Popular Beta, then dumped and VHS was the practice, some 30 years later DVD became and option and transferable. Why I realize in home streaming is the way of the future, I think Porn will not follow suit. Streaming relies on much more then popping a dvd in and having fun, VHS did this and was successful until replaced. Tivo has been around 20years and never could hold the market and here is why. It is not portable or transferable. Video stores my close and even cinemas but DVD type player will be around long after this is over. I see many topic popping up in the way of the poll and in here seem to be pushing the new idea of streaming porn to a box ( be it and expensive box) and I see it as a gimmick and a flash in the pan idea. Netflix, Amazon and alike are all streamers and horribly unsuccessful, and Tivo nearly went bankrupt a few years ago. There are already portable DVD's Portable hardrives and payperview, Netflix,Tivo, Amazon. And all are about the same idea accessible media. The problem is for now there is sensory overload for this technology just like when PC were on the rise everyone had new fanggled ideas yet the PC as a whole is the same as 1985. Input/ output system. Something bigger will be needed to replace what we have now. Since 2007 | |

Very true. It's a racket on making money. Like playing games. Used to be game consoles like Atari, then moved to PCs, then to game consoles like PS3 and XBOX and now I hear it may be coming back to PCs again. Music too, going from vinyl to tape to CD to, yes vinyl. A true neck-lover. | |

LOL! I would like to be around to see 3D porn or even better see set top media players replaced with knock dead robots like the one in the movie Cherry 2000. I think I'd collect them like some people collect cars. Let's see, I'll have a blonde tonight, a red head tomorrow, and surprise me the next, LOL. And for the women out here, robots for you too! Like James Earl Jones said to Eddie Murphy in Coming to America, "Go, Satisfy your every erotic desire!" A true neck-lover. | |
