o Cablevision to Test Server-Based Digital Video Recorder Service

New York - Cable TV provider Cablevision announced this week that it plans to test a new network-based digital video recorder service, that would let subscribers record TV shows that are stored on the company's servers rather than a set-top box. Reuters reported that fellow cable TV providers Comcast and Time Warner Cable have voiced their support for the RS-DVR (remote-storage digital video recorder) technology, and would likely launch similar services if Cablevision's trial worked out. Cablevision will test RS-DVR with its Long Island, N.Y. subscribers for two months; the service will be deployed via a software download to existing set-top boxes. "Our lawyers say Cablevision is on very firm footing so long as it's fair use (by the customer)," Comcast chief operating officer Stephen Burke remarked at a conference this week, according to Reuters.

o Toshiba Releases First Next-Generation HD DVD Player in Japan

Tokyo - Japanese consumer electronics firm Toshiba released its first HD DVD player in Japan on Friday, beating rival Sony to become the first to bring its next-generation DVD player to market. The Toshiba HD-XA1 will sell there for about $940. The HD-XA1 is slated for release in the U.S. later this month, where it will cost $799; another model, the HD-A1, is also slated to sell for $499. Toshiba hopes to sell between 600,000 and 700,000 HD DVD players worldwide through March 2007. Meanwhile, Sony plans to introduce its rival Blu-ray Disc DVD players in the U.S. in July, with the first models to sell for about $1,000.

o Kotaku: Developers Can Pay for Preview Placement on Gamespot, Gamespy

New York - Gawker Media's Kotaku games blog this week reported on practices at several gaming enthusiast websites -- including CNET Networks' Gamespot and News Corporation's IGN/Gamespy -- where game publishers and developers can pay to have previews for their titles receive more prominent placement on the sites. "You can purchase messaging plus units that increase the likelihood of an article about your game showing up on their front page," a source who was a former media buyer for various game publishers told Kotaku. Neither site makes this relationship known to its readers. The editors at both Gamespot and IGN then confirmed the existence of such practices when questioned by Kotaku. "I can confirm that GameSpot does offer publishers programs that promote their content on our site using a variety of means," Gamespot executive editor Greg Kasavin told Kotaku.

o Report: Half of VNU Shareholders Set to Reject Takeover

Amsterdam - According to a report by the Financial Times, about half of VNU's shareholders are planning to reject a $9.1 billion takeover bid recently tabled by a group of private-equity firms. VNU is the owner magazines including Billboard and The Hollywood Reporter. The private-equity group, which includes Blackstone, Carlyle Group and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, is expected to launch its bid for VNU formally sometime next week. Quoting unnamed sources familiar with the situation, the Financial Times said that a number of shareholders -- including Fidelity International, which owns around 15% of the Netherlands-based market research firm -- would not support the offer.

o U.S. Expresses "Concern" over EU-Microsoft Antitrust Case

Brussels - According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. government has expressed concern about the European Commission's handling of its protracted antitrust case against Microsoft. The U.S. is particularly worried about Microsoft's contention that the case has been unfair because EU regulators have withheld evidence vital to the company's defense, the Wall Street Journal said. The report quotes an email from the U.S. mission to the EU as saying that, if Microsoft's allegations are true, they will be of "substantial concern" to the U.S.

o Report: Average U.S. Household Owns 26 Consumer Electronics Products

Arlington, Va. - The average U.S. household now owns 26 consumer electronics products and has spent $1,200 on products such as MP3 players, digital cameras and notebook computers over the past year, according to a new study by the Consumer Electronics Association. The study also found that analog is giving way to digital technologies across the board, and identified the top five most owned products as televisions (in 95% of households), VCRs (87%), cordless phones (85%), DVD players (81%) and wireless phones (78%). The report includes favorable findings for satellite radio, as well. Satellite radio ownership reached 10% of households as total subscribers to XM and Sirius topped the 10 million mark.

San Francisco - CNET News.com on Friday reported on YouTube, the video-sharing site that has seen the number of video streams it serves jump from 3 million a day to 30 million since launching in December 2005.

YouTube has removed several "Saturday Night Live" clips at NBC's request, and warns users not to post videos for which they don't own the rights. "We've been meeting with almost every TV network, record label and movie studio to talk about ways to partner and help them reach a broader demographic," YouTube spokeswoman Juile Supan told News.com.
