Perhaps what you say about speed is true, or not. Have to check it out more. BUT, in the meantime I can say I checked out the website for the box you were promoting. So far in the US the only HD quality stuff was Movie Trailers and IMAX Movies. Also, it isn't clear on the site if it will charge for HD Movies as it goes from listing Free TV/Movies and then mentions nothing free in the HD Quality stuff.

Plus the channels available are really odd. I have an Apple TV hacked with BOXXEE and it gives me tons of stuff to watch that way AND I have a Roku box to watch my Netflix stuff that seems to play just fine and I only pay my low monthly fee to watch that AND get DVD's into the house within 2 days turnaround. So I think your description is not quite all it is cracked up to be. I would say the playing field is pretty level right now as to who will come out on top, and you need more than one box/service to make it all work for now. Probably have another few years as people are only just starting (like myself) to switch over to Internet TV Services and let go of their Cable and Satelite Service.

Take care and have a better than good day.
