I have Directv and this package. of course Steve believes this package is "in consumers best interest" but i ask this

1- why not offer it via more cable/sat systems?
2- why can't the price come down then? seems alot like Directv is overpaying for the exclusivity and is passing the MEGA costs on to its customers.

sorry, while i like the package alot, it is painful to the wallet.

sounds like a great idea. if Disney can tackle this and make it easy for consumers. it would be AMAZING

you know what... at the end of the day, it is still yet another Windows Mobile powered device. and.... probably stinks. i'll stick to my Blackberry and iPhone.

sounds great to me. disc storage with massive capacity. really neat. this could help me stop needing so many external hard drives.

it would be a great advancement to allow computers with BD players to do digital copy like the PSP/PS3

but... i don't want it limited to sony products, i'd love to get this on my mac as well. Apple please embrace BD properly and keep doing the digital copies, but make it even better. who needs to waste extra plastic dvd discs?? let em put it on the BD instead.

Directv is really starting to suck ... when other cable and sat co's are launching new national channels, all they have been doing is adding more local spot coverage. ie Lexington, KY.

Cmon Directv... you are really starting to lag!!

Well, the cable industry has stonewalled CableCard, and once it got launched, they launched the really viable version Tru2Way which would actually provide service that most end users want.

Then before the cable companies are forced to support Tru2Way they are lobbying to cancel this program??? i am amazed and astonished at how gullible they think the FCC and public are.

This is about nothing more than the monthly revenues the cable co's want for receiver boxes, if those are lost, they expect to be able to charge monthly Cablecard fee's ... this is only about income. never mind how much these companies are forcing end users to pay extra for HD content.

Make Cable Co's support Tru2Way and make the cards available widely. Instead they make consumers push hard to get them. and even now the CableCards can't do PPV and other content, for that and VOD you need the forthcoming Tru2Way cards.

I am all for net neutrality regarding legal apps and applications and data. Skype, Slingbox and etc.

But... I really don't see a problem blocking or significantly slowing illegal filesharing networks which transfer pirated music and movies. sorry, no legal right there to protect that.

squid, you kidding me?? apple has been generous with apple tv? cmon dude, i love mine, but it is getting a bit long in the tooth. very few advancements to make it up to date.

Where are is the compatibility with:
1- Netflix on Demand
2- Amazon on demand
3- hulu

the apple tv could be an amazing device, if apple didn't cripple it into only working with itunes content.

also, the apple tv with its software updates is a bit less reliable and needs to be rebooted frequently.

i love the idea of this. but am pretty much disappointed at all the blu-ray companies not making blu-ray recorders for the us market. seems like everywhere but here. as for 100GB discs. could make a great computer data backup disc. ie photography, music and video people would love
