Movie rental downloads will be the wave of the future. It isn't rocket science. People want convenience and hate to waste time and gas driving to their local video store. From the movie studio's perspective, the shift to downloadable content can not come soon enough. The switch to downloadable movies will free them from all of the costs connected with the production, storage, distribution and packaging of physical media. They can still sell the movies for a healthy amount, but show increased profits.
The capability to rent downloadable movies has been with us for a couple of years now. The problem for lots of people has been twofold; the lack of widespread broadband Internet access, as well as the requirement to utilize a computer to view the movies. Even if the computer was successfully hooked to a TV (sometimes no mean feat in itself) for a larger picture, there have been all kinds of other issues connected with computer use that made this a less than satisfactory solution for the vast majority of movie renters.
The passage of time has largely solved the broadband issue. An April, 2008 report from research firm Scarborough Research revealed broadband penetration is up over 300% since 2002. Nationally, 49% of households have broadband Internet access, and that number continues to increase with the continued rollout of services for example Verizon's FIOS. As more households get broadband the need for renting movies via Internet download will increase even further.
The higher gains on the other hand, will come from the introduction of alternative methods of downloading movie rentals. To this end, numerous services happen to be introduced or are planned for market introduction. Most cable companies offer some sort of video on demand rental service. The quality and selection of these offerings vary, nevertheless they will be accessible to a lot of men and women.
For individuals that don't have cable or for various reasons want an alternative service, there are alternatives available. TiVO has partnered with Amazon.com to offer the ability to rent movies from the Amazon Unboxed service. That collaboration has a great deal going for it. TiVO has a universally praised user interface, offers HD capability from off air or cable services, and integrates the Amazon Unboxed service seamlessly into their interface to make things extremely easy for consumers.
AppleTV is a piece of hardware which allows people to download movies from the Apple iTunes Store for viewing on their TV. It's really a small, set top box like unit that connects to the web, and retrieves see movies online from the iTUNEs library. As with most things from Apple Inc. it really is well designed and it has a simple to use interface. It does not stop at movies either. You may watch TV shows, music videos, and YouTube videos also. Additionally, it allows A/V content through your computer to be viewed on your TV. There's a 24hr window from the time for movie rentals, and after that the movies vanish, as well as your rental fee. It's like video on demand, but with a significantly larger library.
HD video for the Apple TV is delivered in 720p (You may watch them in 720p or 1080i). With Apple TV 2, the bitrate is approximately 1/8th that of Blu-Ray, so the video obviously isn't as good, but it's not bad either, and you do not have to get off your couch. A problem for some is the fact that there is no type of video below component 480i. Should you have a mature TV that does not have component inputs, you are out of luck. Another issue is the FF and rewind performance. The film has to be rebuffered to do this so it doesn't work like your regular Blu-ray player or cable company's video on demand.
