Time Warner testing metered markets
Read my lips for the last time: as long as internet companies are intent on charging more for more download capacity, consumers WILL NOT abandon physical media. End of story. Game, set, match.
I realize Time Warner Cable and Warner Brothers are separate, but if WB wants VOD to start taking off, this kind of stuff CAN NOT HAPPEN.

Pop in the DVD2 disc into your old beat $40 Chinese DVD player and it still plays movie.

View profile »No, you don't "get native HD" anything!
DVD = native 480i STANDARD definition
DVD2 = native 480i STANDARD definition
960p = NOT native high-definition, but artificial "super-upconversion" of a native 480i SD signal.

Someday it would be nice to order your download, and go make your popcorn and come back to find your HD movie download waiting for you. Apple iTV is one step closer to that accomplishment. We are BETA testing one, and it works quite well. We have 12 HD movies stored on our unit. The problem that exists is the limitation of transporting the media to another storage device. I'm in the process of figuring that out. Movies of the future, and right now already come with a cover/folder art. What's to say that Apple doesn't iTV ready this like the iTunes store and make the movies burnable. Now that would be cool. You burn your movie in your MAC/PC with DRM. With your download you are allowed one copy, and for additional copies you are charged with a surcharge? Now that would be cool.
