Great plan, Reed Hastings. You are building a set-top-box into LG's dual-format player, which sells for about $800. LG has sold roughly one thousand of these players and probably fewer than 100 of the owners of these LG dual-format players are actually Netflix customers. Way to get Netflix WatchNow (or Watch Instantly, whatever you are calling it today) to the masses directly to their televisions. Yawn.
