But in terms of living platforms, I'm disappointed no "media center" type software has appeared for the Wii as yet. Even though it'd have to be SD, Netflix streaming would be a great feature to add to that console.]]>Dec 8th 2008 8:18AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/08/netflix-hd-streaming-comes-to-tivo/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/08/netflix-hd-streaming-comes-to-tivo/Dec 8th 2008 6:47PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/08/netflix-hd-streaming-comes-to-tivo/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/08/netflix-hd-streaming-comes-to-tivo/----Don't forget, DirecTV and Tivo are partnered up again for an HD box that's due in 2009....so we can hope the downloads will be a part of that. DirecTV will want a piece of that pie for first run movies though, since it would compete with their own on-demand setup...but it would be a bonus for both for anyone wanting to watch movies not being broadcast in the DTV ppv lineup.

"if we aren't careful, Netflix is going to turn into a behemoth right before our very eyes."
----and what's wrong with competition/moving HD to downloads? Any BR fan should be a little scared, but also happy that this *should* help reduce prices. If it doesn't....well...in this economy...it's bad news for companies that don't adapt.

It has to be said that it looks like next year is going to be a major year for downloads and streaming. This year appears to have been the "putting a toe in the water" year, but with it seeming likely that the majority of Blu-ray players, games consoles, and DVRs supporting Netflix at the very least, and many other systems over all, I think consumers are going to be spoilt for choice.

Now, if Netflix and Blockbuster can fix the audio issue (no 5.1? WTF? If the problem is Windows Media, at least decode 5.1 for HDMI, or chose a different audio codec...), we're going to have a very good year.]]>Dec 8th 2008 11:13AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/08/netflix-hd-streaming-comes-to-tivo/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/08/netflix-hd-streaming-comes-to-tivo/Dec 8th 2008 9:40AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/08/netflix-hd-streaming-comes-to-tivo/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/08/netflix-hd-streaming-comes-to-tivo/Dec 8th 2008 11:24AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/08/netflix-hd-streaming-comes-to-tivo/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/08/netflix-hd-streaming-comes-to-tivo/Dec 8th 2008 2:35PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/08/netflix-hd-streaming-comes-to-tivo/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/08/netflix-hd-streaming-comes-to-tivo/
I think they should go all in early with Netflix, as there will always be people that prefer to buy media, and those that rent (which is what the downloading is more/less). Me, I just rent my BR movies, since I'm not entirely sure they won't get laserdisc'd by digital downloads.

We all know how controlling the content worked out for the music industry...they're just now recovering after they relented and sold songs $1 a pop, etc. The movie biz is adapting fairly quickly this year with the downloads via BB and Netflix, but will Sony?]]>Dec 8th 2008 3:12PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/08/netflix-hd-streaming-comes-to-tivo/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/08/netflix-hd-streaming-comes-to-tivo/Dec 8th 2008 6:51PM
