Feb 4th 2008 5:16PM been using these, oh, bout five years now. for the most part, they work okay. YMMV. I find if something is going in the cabinet, this is the only way to get it to work. Works fine. 40$ OTD is a great deal.

Jun 1st 2007 10:41AM I gotta say, I hooked up my laptop to a 42" plasma a couple weeks ago to watch the season finale of Greys. It looked pretty darn good and that was JUST SD feeds. Full screen, it was pretty darn good. When I switched over to HD from a TIVO, certainly I could SEE the differance, but if they upped the rez at least 100% from what it is now, it would be even MORE Pretty darn good.

Ins and Outs: Is buyshifting the future of television? (part 2) {Engadget}
May 25th 2007 8:00PM I think you have to do something to account for VOD needs to have at least basic cable to function.
Itunes, needs to have at least a computer, and a monthly subscription to the internet at high speed, DSL or Cable. If you have cable, then you need to factor some of the CABLE cost, AND the CABLE internet cost in to the itunes cost, if you have DSL then you could have JUST DSL.
As well, there needs to be SOME X factor for other programming. If you JUST had VOD, or ITunes, you could NEVER watch CNN, or the Today show, or something like that (okay, today is on the net, but not LIVE so what good would that be)
As the networks are hoping for these technologies, it is to be INCREMENTAL revenue, not necessarilly TAKE AWAY from CABLE or SAT revenue, but in the end, people watch more MOBILE content, or PLACE SHIFTED content (on the computer, on the road, NOT in the living room) than they used to just watch TV.
People said, TV Would kill radio, well that didn't happen either.
