Adios, Netflix and Blockbuster.

Connections to news are very slow today. MacWorld Expo has the internet in a meltdown.

Netflix announced unlimited video downloads earlier this month.

4 bucks per movie is too much. I pay Netflix about $18 a month and watch 5-6 mailed movies during that time.

If they had added DVR capability to the iTV then it would be worth it.

My mailman has enough bandwidth to deliver a 8 GB movie. My DSL doesn't. Depending on time of day I order, I might get the DVD in the mail before I'm finished downloading the movie.

I have Apple TV. With the Apple N router, it streams flawlessly to my 52 inch Aquos. Apple TV is fantastic, I love it. I have a 1 TB drive that I am putting my family’s favorite movies on. We have instant access to an excellent library of movies and tv shows.

It’ll be interesting to see what clone product of the Air comes flyin’ out of Chinese factories in a couple of months.
