TECH WRITERS TAKE POT-SHOTS AT PEACOCK
Tuesday, November 13 2007

NBC's latest attempt to deliver programming over the Internet has received universally negative reviews from tech websites, with many complaining about the requirement to download a "clunky" proprietary player and the difficulty selecting and downloading programs.NBC Direct is also currently available only via Windows operating systems running Internet Explorer. Most agreed that the network's decision to yank its programs off Apple's iTunes Store and place them on its own site was premature at best and incompetent at worst. PC Magazine reported that it tried to download two TV shows via NBC Direct, but after an hour the screen still showed a "Pending" notice.
