melkoloran @rr.com	Bah No surprise that they don't want to really push it. Extract higher fees from cable/satellite and maintain the monopoly on control of delivery.

phxmark What Country Are We Living In? join:2000-12-27 Glendale, AZ	Yeah, right... So everyone will hit their monthly caps a lot sooner. The cable companies will reap the benefit of getting to charge everyone that hits their caps sooner a per MB charge. -- Still living on Dial-Up.

draven Premium,Mod join:2002-02-20 my bunker	Technology (less than) Product Until bandwidth increases and cap removals happen, Netflix is still the way to go if you have a hankering to use the Internet to obtain movies. [text was edited by author 2003-10-24 09:57:42]

KoolMoe Aw Man Premium join:2001-02-14 Annapolis, MD clubs: ·Verizon FIOS ·Speakeasy	Cool enough We've used it a couple times. Blockbuster fees are annoying, yet we still can't seem to get movies back on time. This makes it easy. With our 1.5mb connection to the net, it's cool enough for now. We decide we want to see a movie cause nothin' is on the tube, browse MovieLink, and half-hour later, watching the movie. Same thing as w/ Blockbuster but no driving 15 minutes and no return to worry about. Movielink's time limit is kinda lame - once start watching it, have 24 hours to complete. But I can live with it, especially for the cheaper movies. We use an X-10 sender/receiver to get it to the TV. Yeah, quality isn't awesome, but VCR-like, and that's fine. We're not vid/audiophile extremists. No complaints from these occasional users.

youngmoore join:2001-03-16 Marietta, GA ·Sprint Mobile Broa..	I love this service. I don't watch much TV, SG-1 and enterprise and thats about it. News is get old fast so this enables me to watch a movie on my Flat panel at my desk which is were I'm at 99% of the time anyway. The ONLY thing I would suggest to them is to give a longer view time, 24 hours isn't enough if I have to go to a clients for a day etc. Other than that its been a great service. As far as CAPS are concerned I have both DSL and cable and neither have ever contacted me about using to much bandwidth. ym

Karl Bode News Guy join:2000-03-02 Host: Road Runner PC gaming GAMES PC gaming Tech	reply to youngmoore Re: Cool enough I watched the ChubbChubbs, which was actually pretty funny.... Ran into an endless loop of confirmation hiccups/crashes when I updated RealPlayer to handle the DRM side of things, but otherwise pretty good. I still see no point in watching films at my PC, when I've got a couch, a 5.1 surround system, and a large TV with digital cable films on demand and a DVD player.....and that's really the rub with these services....I imagine I'm not alone.

nasadude join:2001-10-05 Rockville, MD ·Comcast	will it happen in my lifetime? personally, I have no interest whatsoever in watching movies (even high quality, which these apparently are not) on my PC. I have an HDTV and would gladly order and download movies if: a) the studios would ever permit it b) I could view them on my HDTV However, between the studio's paranoia about people "stealing" their movies and their fear of and desire to control the technologies, I am not sure this will ever happen in my lifetime (and I'm not young, but not that old either)

Omega Displaced Ohioan Premium join:2002-07-30 Cheyenne, WY clubs: ·Bresnan Online ·Verizon Wireless B.. ·Comcast ·AT&T Midwest	reply to draven Re: Technology (less than) Product I won't be using this service. I prefer blockbuster over the PC. It give me the freedom to choose which TV I want to view it on. My upstairs DVD player is connected to a new TV, and surrond sound. The TV that is hooked up to my computer has 1 speaker and is 20 years old. Plus, the commute to blockbuster might take 15-30 minutes, however it will go a lot faster than watching the movie download. -- "The doctor's X-Rayed my head and found nothing"

jcaparula join:2001-06-13 Madison, WI	Prefer VoD Now that our cable company has rolled out Video On Demand, I see no reason for this service. PCs are great for delivering music on demand (Rhapsody, iTunes, etc),but I think cable TV services are better suited for movies on demand. -- »webpages.charter.net/jcaparula

ronpin Imagine Reality join:2002-12-06 Nirvana ·AT&T Southwest	reply to melkoloran I tried it MovieLink forced me to use [the great-satan] MSIE to see their movies. My 1.5 mbs connection took almost 2hours to download a 90 minute [art-sy] movie. It was memorable -- munching popcorn in my study -- in an office chair. A nice idea whose time hasn't quite arrived.
