Plus I wouldn't give up on disk formats just yet. Personally I prefer to watch HD on a Blu-Ray Disk before watching a stream. Sorry but the obviously known fact that streamed HD content isn't anywhere near HD disks hurts. So until that far off day comes, I continue to prefer physical media for my ultimate viewing experience and purchasing power. Maybe streaming higher quality stuff should become a priority though, hint hint... ANYONE?! FCC, cable providers, OBAMA!
BMZ, you need a better TV. If that 32" 720p looks okay to you, so be it. But for those of us with real tv's the quality is slightly better than upscaled dvd. In fact, depending on the upscaling dvd player you have and your bandwidth, dvd could easily look better than any so-called HD stream. I've tried streaming some of the network shows in "HD", but they look nothing like the same show over local ATSC, not to even mention Bluray.

You guys are in for a big surprise--VUDU matches Blu-Ray quality already.
BMZ, that is total BS.
