Quality will either be abysmal (SD), or poor (HD), and take ages on current broadband infrastructures.

No thanks, I will stick with my existing DVD collection, and my ever expanding Blu-ray collection.

As the AC@12:10GMT said, the quality probably won't be there.

Until it's a significantly better quality alternative to downloading hooky (but generally well encoded) content from the myriad torrents sites out there I can't see this sort of thing taking off.

Apple TV quality is excellent....

That's the only one i've ever tried but i was very impressed!

Quality arguments are getting very old - the various and virtually lossless compression codec’s that can be used today are quite suitable for providing a quality viewing experience - even on the most decent HD projectors or TV's.

As mentioned the bugger is the file size... not so good with a broadband network that’s not developing so fast, did I mention that I have 100mb connection here in Stockholm? :) (There are advantages to being in a country with less than 11 million people!)

I'm sure this service would work a treat here.

btw thats 100mb uncontented and unrestriced - There are advantages to being in a country with less than 11 million people!

There are already a few film download services in the UK
