Interesting interview with Alan Sugar with the new series of The Apprentice coming up, which I enjoyed in it's early business orientated form - but now feels just like a talent contest "monkey fight" show without so much business background.
So I always thought he should have done a decent FreeView PVR, presumably his Sky box production contract was more lucrative and stopped him from doing anything competitive. This was exactly his sort of product in a not too crowded market place.
But he seems to be returning to this area, on the board of YouView a hybrid FreeView and iPlayer product. Interesting if they can get it to market before all the satellite/cable incumbents get their offerings polished.
Another part of the interview discussed the E-mailer, an early example of a product with subscription sold on top. A disaster, but apparently broken even after all these years!
