Digital Video Interface - By SETH SCHIESELMICHAEL G. MANSOUR, a 28-year-old Manhattan financial professional,used to watch television the way most people do. For his favoriteshows, like "The Sopranos," he would make a point of being home whenthey were scheduled. If the show was something he more or less liked,he would put up with the commercials. If he felt like watching amovie, he went to the video store."Basically, I would try to remember my shows and flip to them if Icould remember," he recalled this week.How quaint.Things started to change in Mr. Mansour's television life last fallwhen his cable provider, Time Warner Cable, introduced video ondemand, which allowed him to watch "The Sopranos" and dozens of otherprograms and movies whenever he wanted. Then, for Christmas, hereceived a TiVo digital video recorder - "the greatest gift ever," ashe put it - which lets him record his favorite shows effortlessly andeven suggests new ones."Now, between TiVo and the on-demand, I don't watch anything liveanymore," he said. He doesn't go to the video store, either. And heskips past most commercials.So does he watch more or less television than he used to?"I watch better television than I used to," was his reply.Within the next five years or so, Mr. Mansour's new habits may becomecommon as the cable and satellite television industries stake theircompetitive future on a panoply of services that go far beyond thedaily program grid.http://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/31/technology/circuits/31teev.htmlonline are invited to useour group login name 'telecomdigest' and our group password'telecomdigest' when using the NY Times web site to protect theirprivacy and avoid spam.
