Corpania Ideas

CAVEAT! I'm an amateur philosopher and idea-generator. I am NOT an investment professional. Don't take any of my advice before consulting with an attorney and also a duly licensed authority on finance. Seriously, this my personal blog of random ideas only for entertainment purposes. Don't be an idiot.

Idea: "DVR-Snips" for Hulu.com

Just had another random idea:

Hulu.com and all the websites that offer TV episodes online should make up for the frustrating fact that incongruously-synced air schedules often make DVRs trim off the last minute or so of shows (including a sitcom's "tag" i.e. the last scene during the credits).

These "DVR-End Snips" should be available for quick viewing online. You wouldn't need a "DVR-Open Snip" for missed openings because you could simply just watch the beginning of the show.

NOTE: Yes, you can add minutes to the tail of recording times but not if they compete with other shows you want to record.

BTW - Networks will also want to implement this because it highlights the fallibility of DVRs (which are not particularly favored by networks because they enable skipping of commercials).
