Netflix already has HD streaming to TV's, but the problem is that the audio is sub par Dolby Pro Logic :(]]>Jan 6th 2010 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/VUDU-coming-to-sharp-toshiba-and-vizio-adds-tons-of-new-apps1/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/VUDU-coming-to-sharp-toshiba-and-vizio-adds-tons-of-new-apps1/
True, I'm not talking about HD streaming as a "technology", I'm talking about as one-stop-shop for new releases and TV shows. Netflix requires a monthly subscription and does not offer streaming new releases of movies or TV shows.

This is a good step forward in getting streaming TV/Movies to the general public.]]>Jan 6th 2010 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/VUDU-coming-to-sharp-toshiba-and-vizio-adds-tons-of-new-apps1/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/VUDU-coming-to-sharp-toshiba-and-vizio-adds-tons-of-new-apps1/
I don't know about "innovative" .... but yea, good for them.

Amazon has been doing this already. HD movies. So have cable providers, and the aforementioned Netflix (although subscription based)]]>Jan 6th 2010 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/VUDU-coming-to-sharp-toshiba-and-vizio-adds-tons-of-new-apps1/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/VUDU-coming-to-sharp-toshiba-and-vizio-adds-tons-of-new-apps1/Jan 6th 2010 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/VUDU-coming-to-sharp-toshiba-and-vizio-adds-tons-of-new-apps1/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/VUDU-coming-to-sharp-toshiba-and-vizio-adds-tons-of-new-apps1/
the only problem is their pricing. an HD stream from VUDU will cost you about $4.00 per title to rent. all you can eat streaming (most in SD, i know) will only cost $8.99 per month from Netflix (and you can up it to $10.99 per month to get blu-rays instead of dvds mailed to you).

there's just not a true "every household" market for $3-$5 movie rentals (not to mention you need 4mbps or faster internet to watch HDX video).

make VUDU $1 for SD and $2 for HD streams and they'll grown their user base quickly. at their current prices i'm better off going to Hollywood Video, Blockbuster, etc.]]>Jan 6th 2010 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/VUDU-coming-to-sharp-toshiba-and-vizio-adds-tons-of-new-apps1/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/VUDU-coming-to-sharp-toshiba-and-vizio-adds-tons-of-new-apps1/Jan 6th 2010 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/VUDU-coming-to-sharp-toshiba-and-vizio-adds-tons-of-new-apps1/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/VUDU-coming-to-sharp-toshiba-and-vizio-adds-tons-of-new-apps1/Jan 6th 2010 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/VUDU-coming-to-sharp-toshiba-and-vizio-adds-tons-of-new-apps1/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/VUDU-coming-to-sharp-toshiba-and-vizio-adds-tons-of-new-apps1/Jan 11th 2010 1:32PM
