Bored out of my mind

[Paul.M]

As for the next stage for dvd's, blue ray, cd's, lap top and mobile music down loads I think is this:-

Once everyone has bought an internet tv they will get rid of any form of machine that plays a movie. You buy a film through your tv, the company (aka record shop) keeps a list of what you have purchased and you can watch any film you've bought from that tv set, so no more lending disc's.

Of course that means we will have to buy our collection again just like when vhs turned into compact disc. And every time you log onto your film library to watch Rocky VIII you will be bombarded with advertisements for the latest movies etc. It's already happening with new companies like netflix and just wait until the big boys like Sony want a piece of the action.

Why wait for customers to come to your shop when we can install a shop in the customers homes?

Mark my words, it will happen and sooner than you think.

The very reason I don’t have sky. There is nothing more irritating than when you watch one of your favourite programs and it’s constantly interrupted by advertising. Your probably right though. The ability to brainwash the masses with junk together with our inability to copy and lend out someone else’s copyright material will be the driving force. So the sd card idea is pretty much dead in the water!

I have been think the same as you, internet TV's with a few Terrabit harddrives or solid state and thats it. With iTunes and apple TV we are already there as far as a digital database and viewer goes.

The very reason i record every program so i can watch it later and fast forward through the adverts.
