DISQUS

Arnold, nice writeup. The site TVLoop.com is DEFINITELY open to all countries and geographies. All of the blogs, discussions, games, profiles, recruiting, widgets, photos, quizzes, Youtube videos, and myriad other content is available for any fan anywhere to consume. In fact, a minority but good portion of our 16 million users are outside the US today.

The only features that are not available yet are video streaming. These are provided by our partners Hulu and ABC (and soon other partners). We depend on the rights holders to enable worldwide viewing. We're not there yet, but we're working with our partners to enable video watching everywhere.

Arnold, thanks for taking notice of the launch of TVLoop.com and for taking the time to write about it. Just wanted to make sure you were aware that there are no international limitations on registering or using the features within TVLoop with the exception of video. I share your frustration regarding the availability of videos and full episodes outside the US. Our video provider is Hulu and unfortunately we're limited to what they can do internationally. Of course Hulu is then limited by their own content partners - FOX, NBC, Viacom, etc which are in turn limited by the producers and owners of the shows themselves. Content licensing rights from TV to movies to music are a mess. In a digital world it's becoming increasingly important for these guys to work something out to give international users access to the same great content we get here in the US. Sorry they're not there yet, but thanks again for writing.
