You Tube XL. eXtremely Laughable. Pay no attention to the pixelated man, with out of sync sound , on the screen

You Tube XL,  the merging of the living room set with the  Oh wait, that's  not at all what it is. It's a skin that looks pretty when shown on a large screen.  Yes it shows You Tube content on a large screen, like having a really big monitor.  

Shame the compressed video and even worse audio depredations on most of the content make this a non starter.  Small crap x screen size = larger crap.

The digital TV transition has been "traumatic" enough for people but I'd like to see it go further.There's a lot of spectrum going to waste,off hours, 24-7 on religious channels,  and I am wondering why we can't use that as a channel to record our programs in advance for later watching. Yep it's Tivo but not as we know it.Seems odd to limit the transmission to real time recording for most content that really doesn't need a full HD stream.

This waiting for 10pm PST to come along to release a show that was tweeted/ spoiled by many on the East coast viewing is reason enough to do away with the idea of scheduling and appointment TV.  Oh then the networks get to control their own DVR channel rather than adding in the add skipping joy of a Tivo. Maybe they can charge too? Seriously if you are paying $10 or so for Tivo I bet you'd pay $10 each  a year for major networks, $10 more than they get at present from OTA broadcast.
