Tech like the DVR is the way of the future.

Most people I know do have the disposible income, interest, need, and televisions to watch these formats, so I disagree with that assesment.

Wireless media is already avail from Netflix and like any wireless media, it sucks because of massive compression. THe restrictions that come along with wireless media is also something I will never endorse because all a sudden they can control what and how you watch - watched once already? Well, that means you used up all your views and can't watch it again! Sorry - I don't need a control whip above my head with someone messing with my usage rights. I will avoid all wireless tech on movie delivery for as long as I can.
