Re: This is what ADSL was designed for!

Due to the technical requirements of VOD, I think that downloading the movie (perhaps in some type of encrypted MPEG 4 format) would be a more wide reaching solution.
A few months back, I shared a flight with a gentleman who works for an Entertainment distribution business. He was coming back from the broadcastor's convention in New Orleans and was telling me that one of the hot topics was delivering movies over the Internet to the consumer. He told me that one option was downloading it to a TIVO/Replay Type box (not the TIVO/Replay that's sold but the same idea).

Of course anything that can be downloaded could be cracked but......

perhaps they'll feed it to an X Box instead.....
