I agree with Squiggleslash that the DVR is truly the king of high def media. I spend $30.00 a month on three of premium movie channels. With a DVR I can record and watch more movies than I could ever reasonably afford on Blu-Ray.
I agree that it's nice to have movies right in my STB to watch, but I found that most of the movie channels get into loops where they show the same movies over and over renewing once a month. That's why i switched back to netflix, I have much more say in the movies I want to watch. I don't find it affects my renting/buying, but it does affect me wanting to purchase the premium channels on satellite.
