So far it seems all these companies want you to buy their own brand of set top box connected to the net so you can pay them to watch movies. I have lost track of how many there are! Do you really want another set top box stacked somewhere? agh.
I bought my set top box with the AppleTV. It works great for me. WIsh the catalog was bigger, but I still have fun.
With the cable providers looking to limit our ability to download, by Throttling our bandwidth & failing to provide the download speeds they promise, it is only a matter of time before people find that it will take longer & longer to download a 1 gig movie. Or worse, these freaking greedy companies will raise prices. I have a 10Mbps fios line that only provides 1.5 to 2Mbps & when I contact them they remind me that they only promise to provide "Up To 10Mbps". With the number of people going online to view their favorite TV show or Movie I'm afraid this issue is only going to grow.
A Blue Ray player that could potentially also download movies . . . I'll give that a thumbs up! Also since I generally rent I don't care what DRM they come with.
