If this is true, I just peed my pants. If it isn't, then I peed my pants for some other, less exciting reason.
This doesn't sound unbelievable. Its a Digital setop box tuner (with 3 atsc tuners) has a large hard drive and also a satellite modem that is constantly downloading content to that hard drive.
You'll have to pay for each movie/tv show/music you want to "view"
IF you record OTA TV it wont cost money (except for the $399 cost of the box)I'm not sure if theres a channel guide but I cant see why not they could just stream that info to the hard drive over the satellite.
It also seems like you will need a broadband connection to order the movies (to send data back to their servers, the satellite is one way I believe)
This whole things sounds just like the VUDU box or Movie beam, just over satellite and in very high res and with addition of 3 ATSC tuners
The key is "very high res". No one else is doing this. I do not want to buy Blu-Ray or HD-DVD. I don't really want to buy an overpriced player either. I don't even want to walk to the mailbox where Blockbuster sends me movies after a few days. What I want is to sit on my couch, hit a button, and see 1080p goodness. If the price is in the ballpark of reasonable, I'm sold.
