You will in time be able to go to your local tesco and copy off a copy of a film thats just been released and play it at home, making the need for these boxes redundant.
I guess about 18 months time dvd rental shops will go to the wall, about a year later the cinemas.

That's technically possible now. It hasn't happened, and, TBH, I don't think it ever will. TV screens (even large, hi-def plasmas) don't even BEGIN to compare with cinema screens. An example. I was watching "The Departed" last night at the Odeon Liecester Square. I was watching it on a screen that was (at a guess) around 60 ft diagonally, and listening to a sound system that cost nearly £100,000. Now, your average multiplex doesn't compare to that, but the picture and sound are still an awful lot more impressive than any home cinema system.
