I am currently a DirecTivo user, as well as a NetFlix user, and I am very excited about this.
It is not a matter of being lazy. It is the fact that I don't want to wait 3 days to get a movie. I am going to walk to my mailbox every anyway.
I just hope that DirecTV doesn't prevent the DirecTivo's from using this service. I can see them doing that since they have their own pay per view service. But I have NEVER and will NEVER use it. It doesn't compare at all to netflix.
As far as the ability to copy, yes, chances are you will be able to simply download a movie, and copy it to a PC. That doesn't change anything though. Its not like its hard to copy a rented DVD currently. It just makes it a little faster I guess.
