Oh I'm starting to feel sorry for you.
Now you revert to TiVo, which has been around forever and hasn't seemed to affect DVD rentals.
I have "On Demand Digital" and there is a quite limited selection of movies. At low data rates with visible macroblocking and other artifacts as well as glitchy playback and all too frequent lock-ups.
No thanks.
HD for me means 20+ GB movies. At six times the resolution of DVD I need six times the data. So perhaps 6GB for a DVD means 36 for HD, plus more for PCM or low compression audio. Accounting for H.264 maybe 25GB will do it for most flicks. More for longer ones.
There is NO WAY my cable connection will allow for that type of bandwidth.
You are dreaming. I hope your little dream comes true sooner than later but right now it's optical all the way.
Should we poll this forum and see if people are predominately renting/buying movies via download or optical disc?
That would end our discussion right? I think the forum is a representative sample.
You let me know if you want to do that okay?
