How often do you watch the special features that come on most DVDs? Personally I’ll watch the outtakes once in a while, but rarely dive in much deeper than that. If you’re the kind of person that likes to listen to all of the director commentary on all of your flicks, you just might get a disappointment next time you go to rent a movie released by Fox.

It seems that Fox is trying to encourage people to rent less and buy more by taking out the special features on rental DVDs. The first movies to be released with a special stripped-down version will be “Slumdog Millionaire”, “The Day the Earth Stood Still”, and “The Wrestler”. It will be interesting to see the reaction to this move, though I doubt that a lot of people will be all that upset. I mean, if you really care enough about a movie to sit through 4 hours of commentary and behind-the-scenes footage, maybe you’ll actually want to watch the movie more than once.

That was short lived — it hasn’t been six months since Boxee added one of its most popular features yet and now Hulu is putting a stop to it. A real reason wasn’t given — big surprise — but Hulu is saying it was at the request of the content providers. While no one really knows what Fox and NBC’s objections are to Boxee, we’re sad to say it actually kinda makes sense to us. Both media giants make most of their money from traditional cable and broadcast TV, and offering this content on your TV in a convenient way threatens the current model (read money) — you can’t say you haven’t thought about getting Hulu on your TV so you could cancel cable. The real bad news is that we’d bet that this is just the beginning, and that every STB out there with Hulu will follow. Of course some of them won’t comply, but either way it puts them in a bad situation. Hopefully this won’t another trend and that the likes of ABC, CBS and Netflix don’t follow.

Wow, this isn’t confusing. At all. The on-again / off-again digital TV transition date — which is now formally set for June 12th — may or may not be honored by the hundreds upon hundreds of local broadcasters across America. You see, when Congress postponed the mandatory cutover date from its original place on the calender (February 17th), it also gave stations the option of sticking to that original date. Thus, what could end up happening is that half a city’s local OTA stations would go all-digital in under two weeks, while the others delayed things until June. The good news is that most of the major US television networks (that’s CBS, ABC, FOX and NBC) have reportedly decided to hold off until the new June date in order to prevent a chaotic series of events, but it’s hard to say if each individual station will indeed abide. The bottom line? Get your converter box now if you need one, and if you’re waiting around for one of those $40 vouchers, hats off to you and your patience.
