I\u2019ve just had a game changing entertainment experience. I love watching shows in HD about nature, geography, especially those that feature striking photography that adds to my knowledge of the physical world around me. The Weather Channel has launched a show called From the Edge with Peter Lik and it is available both in HD and SD. And\u00a0 WX has simultaneously launched a companion iPad app<\/a> (FREE) that, like some of the music apps previously available that can listen to music that is playing and identify it, listens to each show as you watch it (Live\/Recorded\/On Demand) and then download and displays related content to augment the viewing experience.<\/p>\n

\"edge1\"<\/p>\n

Tuned in and watching the first recorded episode of this show on my TV.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

the iPad app is listening and syncing\/downloading content. Note that other info about the current show and the upcoming episode in the series is also available.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"interactedge\"<\/p>\n

The app is a great education experience for kids and adults alike with instructional quizzes and FAQs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"edge3\"<\/p>\n

Notes from the field about this episode showed the dangers of producing a show in an unpredictable environment.<\/p>\n

Kudos to everyone at the Weather Channel for the vision to offer a multimedia experience spanning devices in real time. I hope this is the beginning of a new era. We\u2019ve come along way since Former FCC Chariman Newton Minnow\u2019s famous \u201cVast Wasteness<\/a>\u201d 1961 speech.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
