To further update this. I've had a few experiences where "my internet connection has slowed"--at least that's the message I receive while watching. It then changes the resolution to accomodate the slower bandwidth. I've seen three distinct qualities. The highest resolution is really great (as stated before). The medium is obviously a downgrade--watchable but not too great particularly if cinematography is good--you miss a fair amount. The third quality is just plain bad, to the point that you feel like you need to see the eye doctor--very blurred and really not very watchable.
Netflix and Tivo to stream internet movies to Tivo
Netflix and Tivo just anounced they'll be joining forces in streaming (now) more than 12,000 movies over the internet to your Tivo box. Where as Netflix subscribers have apparently been able to download movies from Netflix on the net already, I guess now they can link up with your Tivo for Tv watching as well?
To me it appears as if the writing is on the wall for DVD and Blue Ray! The convenience of storage media and internet downloads is just gunna be WAY WAY too convenient to consider buying or renting movies on disc, if you ask me. We already download an un-godly amount of MP3 music/movies on the net as it is on our ipods and computer. So I think the disc (other than for convenient storage and record) should be going "bye-bye" real quick like.
Anyone care to input?
