i am at 4mbps. i havent paid for cable for television in over a year thanks to torrents and streamed media.

i see physical media being out like the cassette in 5 years. and in order for that to happen silentrebel is right, we need faster network connections. for being a world power, we suck at internets. even austrailia's government is doing something about increasing bandwidth. meanwhile here in the states we strip government authorities the power to regulate s.o.b. isp's (*cough* COMCAST *cough*).

no one should own the lines, and we should get what we pay for. is that too much to ask? soon as we do something about that, we will never have to pay for a damn DVD again.

And I don't think space is an issue, even today. We already have commercial 8TB hard drives and 2 TB hard drives for a little over $100. ]]>Jun 22nd 2010 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/
I pay a boatload to Comcast for some fast broadband, but can't watch a movie in HD on Netflix at 8:00pm on a Weekday. Not even possible because speeds are so drastically reduced.

So when Google owns 90% of the Fiber lines in the US in 10years and we pay them half what we pay the Cable companies and are in love with our Google overlords...then we'll be rid of physical media.]]>Jun 22nd 2010 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/Since DISH Network has become more of a pain than a pleasure. I am having to download more and more programming because DISH can't seem to get it to me as they should. I have been with them since 1994 and will leave in a second if I could get all my online ducks in a row and schedules to DL instead of watch as per a time driven schedule. Plus PQ is better via DL and cheaper since all of DISH's new and forthcoming nickel and dimeing fees that are popping up all over.

I'm ready now to do 100% DL now.]]>Jun 22nd 2010 10:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/Jun 22nd 2010 1:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/
fortunately for you, you are posting on a gadget blog and are smart enough to know about 5ghz wifi. So you won't have to worry about 95% of the other networks as they are on 2.4ghz.]]>Jun 22nd 2010 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/Jun 22nd 2010 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/]]>Jun 22nd 2010 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/
Exactly my point. Most people don't know what dual band even means, much less how or why to use it. At my house I only have about 15 networks in range. No where near the 150 of nsfw. 5ghz will be a geek only spectrum for a while.]]>Jun 22nd 2010 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/Jun 22nd 2010 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/Jun 22nd 2010 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/Jun 22nd 2010 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/Jun 22nd 2010 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/Do any of these players also have just a stock over-the-air tuner built in?]]>Jun 22nd 2010 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/
I won't be able to sleep until I know the answer to these very important questions.]]>Jun 22nd 2010 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/vizio-rolls-out-dual-band-hd-router-trio-of-wifi-equipped-blu/
How does this work? I have a Vizio VIA HDTV, and it has no options for streaming video other than a few proprietary services (Netflix, Amazon, etc) .. It does not have any DLNA capabilities that I know of yet...
