.tv LA.TV now using Channelme platform

[StoneRoses]

Look like Sheeraz has also put his LA.TV on Channelme platform yesterday.

Is this a well known site in America like Hollywood.tv?,does it have the same kind of TV exposure? or had any "Coming Soon" kind of advertising?.

I have seen hollywood.tv on cnn three times in the past week and I hardly never watch regular tv.

It looks like he used the same graphic design team to create both the LA.tv and Hollywood.tv logos.

You know, I looked at this the other day because I was hunting down RSS video feeds for another site.

Was everyone aware that there are NO rss feeds available for channelme.tv sites?

One of the easiest ways to propogate your name around, and they don't use it.

Also, Sharez or whatever isn't even fully utilizing the interface at all. He has his latest videos on youtube and doesn't put all the most recent or even all of them onto his channel me site.

So if I want access to his whole library, I wouldn't even use his tv site, I would just go to youtube.

Okay, not that I'm an expert on this so forgive me if I am wrong but can you not use an RSS feed widget?

I hate what has been done with Hollywood.tv, to have such a amazing name on the me.tv platform is a waste imho
If the plan for LA.tv is to do the same thing as Hollywood.tv then it will be another waste of a TOP .tv, i cant understand what the owners are thinking by putting these prime domains on me.tv as there will be little chance to make a decent income using that platform or ever get massive exposure.

I guess & hope that using me.tv is a temporary part of a longterm development plan for LA.tv & Hollywood.tv, maybe trying to build up traffic while building their own site?? I really dont know what they are doing but wish they would do something to use these domains to their potential.

Rant over :hehe:

Rant away my friend, i agree 100% , it's a huge shame imo as the opportunity for great sites with these great names is massive.

Not if the originating site does not have an rss feed.

Which the old hollywood.tv did before moving to channelme.

What an incredibly huge mistep.

Since he isn't even hosting his own videos, the bandwidth can't be that bad. His old site looked 10 times better then this current me.tv crap.

In my opinion, he stepped way down by going to channel me. It's about the equivelant of my deciding I don't like my DSL and going back to AOL dialup and AOL browser.

Totally agree with you. Sites that use the Me.tv platform look amateurish to me.
