If only I had 100 bucks to blow
I am a Really big fan of netflix. I have been playing with their watch instantly option, and had some really interesting results.
Bottom line I like it. But more to the point, I like the Model. Pay X amount per month and watch as much as you like. The Apple TV model of Pay per DL, and then loose the item (Or pay more to keep it) I just can't get behind.
I would love it if TV went the Netflix Route. Here are X number of Programs to watch, for Y dollars. Want more X? pay for more Y. Want specific pragms? Sure pay a little more and you can Build your own Program plan. Watch streaming at your convience... Its a bit of a bandwith conundrum, but as technology improves its less and less of a hurdle.
Also interesting is this: http://www.roku.com/netflixplayer/
Its a device that basicly links you with the netflix watch instantly system and watch them on your TV.
Now My Laptop has the capacity to RCA out so Its 100 Bucks that I din't need to blow, but its still very cool... and integrated wireless! Very Key.
