Boomer Esiason was Motorola’s Follow Me TV pitchman at yesterday’s press event in NYC. Follow Me TV consists of DVR web scheduling, multi-room viewing between set-top boxes within the home, media streaming from a PC to set-top box, and content offloading for playback on portable devices such as cell phones. Multi-room viewing is already active on Verizon’s FiOS TV, though neither Verizon nor traditional cable companies have integrated the other features at this time. Like Digeo’s Moxi, Moto may have a hard time convincing the lumbering cable cos these value-added features enhance the user experience and thus loyalty. Perhaps that’s why they felt the need to hold a press conference…

Side note: Who knew Boomer was a tech savvy guy?
FYI Motorola is one of the companies I consult for and I was at this event as part of the team. Though I made sure to take several photos and even shot a video for Dave.
What was I thinking titling this Boomer Pitches? Boomer Quarterbacks would have been more appropriate! ;)
F Boomer, and the Jets.
