The problem, HD content for movies is like 25gb.. Where can you download that in any kind of time without amazing data charges? A lot of cable internet has bandwidth caps, dsl often doesnt but its slow.

It just seems not quite ready for mainstream yet... I dont think it will be for quite some time.

I don't recall having any issues, frankly, downloading hi-def content. You can even start watching before it's finished. I don't think waiting to watch your movie a little while is a big deal either. You don't have to wait until the last minute. I'm also not aware of any cap my cable company has in regards to bandwidth. We're also talking strictly the content here - the movie or TV show itself - not the extra features. I'm sure that cuts the file size down.

With that said, typically cable's on-demand is the same price and is just as convenient. I'm also partial to physically owning movies if the cost is reasonable, but have no specific issue with digital ownership...
