Honestly, these types of stories are totally overblown. I have 2 points of contention with netflix streaming surpassing physical media:
Streaming of media is decent for now, but does netflix offer HD quality video with 5.1 sound? No, and until they do and we all have the bandwidth able to stream such high quality video, dvds and blu ray will not be going anywhere.
They also do not offer many movies that have been released on dvd recently so unless you want to wait months to see a movie the only viable option is renting the movie.


Also here is what Steve Swasey, vice president of corporate communications at Netflix, said of their video qulaity.
"Most of the time it's DVD quality," says Mr. Swasey of Netflix's streaming content. "Sometimes if you have a slow connection or DSL line, it might be VHS quality."

I will stick with my 1080p resolution and 5.1 channel umcompressed sound from blu ray for now.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
