@8 vampirescu – Netflix will not be providing unlimited access to 60000 movies for 17 bucks a month. If that was the case what need would there be for ever purchasing a DVD or subscribing to a movie channel. There would be no room for growth and the industry would probably shrivel and die, so it will definitely be a Video-On-Demand service but probably with a much larger catalogue than your current digital cable provider has.

That being said I am not really sure how they are going to overcome the ISP hurdle. I think that will be their biggest problem.

I’d rather get the dvd rentals and rip them as all region.

The problem on my end is crappy ISP’s that randomly decide to screw up my access because they oversold their overpriced broadband. I will never subscribe or even bother with any internet based TV and related services until ISP companies stop shafting their customers or can at least guarentee a minimum stable/constant speed. At this point I couldn’t care less how fast it can ‘burst’ since maintaining even a 1/5th of that speed is a pipedream.

Vampirescu, why not just pay $10 a month for a rapidshare account. I have access to like 5 million movies that way

Internet delivered content is the future, and we already do it now (especially file-sharers). HD-DVD and Blu-Ray screwed themselves by fighting and neither format will get widely accepted. And there is no reason why this won’t do HD content. NetFlix does HD content already, so no reason not to do it for this device.

There probably will be a way to intercept the stream/grab the video from the download sooner or later.

Who would want DVD quality when we’re now on to HD, unless it was absolutely dirt cheap, which it won’t be.

Also how long will it be before someone figures out how to mod the box to copy from cashe?

When are these idiots going to learn.. anything digital can and WILL be copied.
