Very cool. Yet another service that is building itself on MCE (I'm guessing that's what the above quote means).

No more hardware. Just build your service on MCE.

Seems pretty reasonable. However unless you have an HDTV this service doesn't seem to offer anything beyond what you could get with your Cable Co's or MCE's Onlight Spotlight Video on Demands. Though this could be a great service for people who rely on just OTA HDTV and use this for their movies.]]>Feb 14th 2006 2:01PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/02/14/disney-to-release-hd-moviebeam-stb/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/02/14/disney-to-release-hd-moviebeam-stb/

It is somewhat confusing since they also make reference to component inputs on HD sets after saying HDMI with HDCP is required.

One glaring ommission is the lack of an ethernet port to use broadband connections for billing. Do they really think affluent consumers who are the target market for this thing don't have broadband? I can understand not having WiFi built-in as a cost savings but no network support at all? This tells me the product is doomed. Alienating the target demographic with annoyance like having to connect via POTS is not the mark of a smart plan.]]>Feb 16th 2006 11:13AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/02/14/disney-to-release-hd-moviebeam-stb/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/02/14/disney-to-release-hd-moviebeam-stb/Mar 10th 2006 2:03AM
