Does it have on board storage? It suggests that movies are downloaded, not streamed.
I'm unhappy about another set top box that is geared towards only 1 service. if this box proves to be hackable and thus much more useful, I'll change my tune.
Yes, apparently it has capacity for "five movies" (presumably 10 hours) built in internally.
This seems to be the one thing it has over the Netflix box. If Netflix's service was similarly buffered (and if it supported a half decent 5.1 audio codec, which neither Netflix nor Blockbuster does) I'd subscribe in an instant.
