The only issue with this is the fact that UK ISPs are capping users hard and fast, and a digital download of a film will be 700meg - 4gig depending on quality etc... this would eat into your ISP caps VERY fast

Hopefully this kind of thing will push for greater BW in the UK

they will increase the cap for sure, that problem does not afect me, i have no limits

but if it is DRM'ed to hell i wont even consider it.

I hope this takes off and I really like the monthly rate all you can watch plan.

If its relatively cheap and i can burn them to dvds then great

but only if its substantially cheaper with no drm

Until this stuff is in HD I don't think so. So many "DVD quality" pay per download sites are nothing more than slightly beefier streaming video.
