I love waiting several hours to watch a downloaded movies from Blockbuster as much as I need a hole in my head. Download video sucks ass. I'd never buy a download set top box.
I want an instant streaming set top box from a service provider where I can get high definition 1080p blu-ray quality video on demand and live tv from one place over a low bandwidth connection (3Mbps or less) on both PC Player for PC and set top box for TV.
Oh wait, it already exists, it's called MyTVPAL! and Netflix! (WWW.MYTVPAL.COM) / ( WWW.NETFLIX.COM )
Blockbuster is just trying to keep it's stock up until it dies! It has no flare innovation. Those who do not innovate do not survive.
On demand means instant playing. So we should call it "wait several hours then never use the darn box again because your fed up of download boxes, just like AKIMBO". That's right! Just like Akimbo.
Congratulations Blockbuster on once again missing the mark and sailing below our expectations.
Long live 1080p blu-ray instant streaming on MTP and NF!

Just like Betamax vs VHS, there are incompatable boxes and no box can show all streaming internet content from ABC, CBS, AOLin2TV, Hulu, Amazon, Netflix, and other sites. The VuNow pod comes close, as does Slingbox's SlingCatcher.
But, who wants multiple boxes, each costing $200 and up, crowding your entertainment center/TV stand. One simple, inexpensive device, that streams it all, would be nice.
Better yet, if you could watch movies and TV from the web on your living room TV, without additional hardware, that would be better. Verizon has said that they are going to offer internet-to-TV streaming, via their DVR. Someday.
As internet video content continues to grow, there is still no way to easily watch it, from a wide wariety of sources, on a big TV in another room.
