Despite its cutting-edge technology which allow its organization to benefit from tremendous cost-saving by comparing with rival Astro, there is nothing special about it at the moment.
My colleague has urged me to try out the service because all of them already got Astro subscription from home. I am still thinking about it ...
According to the news, MiTV although is based on IP (Internet Protocol) but rather not operable via the Internet yet. TiVo on the other hand, is truly Internet enabled. Comparing to Bit Torrent, TiVo is a legal way to download e-contents and have them copied and manipulated.
This is part of the concept of pervasive computing, where all objects can talk to each other, enabling human to make use of technologies to enhance their life fully.
Bring the best out of MiTV
MiTV must thus has the following features of TiVo.
- Easy Search
- Online recording
- Smart recording
- Simple DVD burning
- Home media features (digital photo and music)
And in order to do that, they must also follow the path undertaken by TiVo for having a SDK for software developers.
SDK (Software development kit)IRIS Cooperation Berhad is famous for developing SDK for many companies. And MiTV must engage with some company to help them with developing the SDK, when such is present. MiTV can actually make more sales because buyer has the type of perception that they don't want to be paying for something the rest of their life. They wanted to feel smart where given two scenario:
1. Given something free
2. Something can be downloaded from the Internet.
Option two("2") stated above would really appeal to people due to psychological reason. Thus when MiTV produced SDK, many jobless developers would try out the SDK and develop some application to be useful for others. Eventually, some of them would create a web site and host it for free.

The ablility for companies to be able to harness the power of the 5th estate cannot be understated. TiVo has obtained amazing co-operation from the Open Source community and it has resulted in some very nice enhancements. You can surf through high res photos on Flickr from your TiVo or you can bid on Ebay. The possibilities are endless and co-operation with other businesses and the open source community will be a key driver to their success.
