NBC has announced yet another new video product — and left behind a wake of confusion. NBC Direct, which is launching this fall, will offer ad-supported downloads of its popular properties that can be viewed up to a week after they air on television. A convenient feature for anyone wanting to watch the shows on their time, for free. But NBC's video strategy, since its break up with iTunes, is exploratory at best. It's testing out this download service, while selling episodes on Amazon Unbox, and presumably continues to offer streaming content from its website. And what's to happen to Hulu.com, its YouTube-killing venture with News Corp.? It looks like someone can't make up his mind, or is taking the precaution of not putting all its video eggs in one basket.
