At the end of the day, I welcome the choice Netflix and Lovefilm potentially offers. If I want to want to watch say, The Expendables tonight in HD, I can. I don't have to search TV schedules for when its on Terrestrial TV. Sure, I could wait.....but why should I when there's a choice not to?

And lets not forget, quite a few movies available on Flimflex are old as well (and cost almost the same as an equivalent Lovefilm streaming only sub when watched in HD).

Horses for courses I guess . There's loads of other potential VOD apps which VM could be offering on TiVo, there's around a dozen such apps on my Sammy TV alone, along with apps on Xbox, PS3, Boxee, WDTV, Apple TV etc. TiVo shouldn't be standing still compared to devices like that.

If they work for you then got for it buddy. I'm not sold just yet. One potential bonus is a price war on streamed content. The winners here are people with an appetitie for streamed services.

If Netflix or Lovefilm can grab a few 1st pay-TV window deals from SKY, game on!
