Netflix

Streaming has gotten better, I currently have my Netflix account and I could stream good quality video. Its a shame that they only show old movies right now but hopefully that they've partnered with nbc and disney this might pave the way for more movies streamed online. Until then, I will settle to watch movies on my laptop rather than buying the box for my TV.

RE: Netflix

I definitely expect their catalog of streaming movies to expand greatly. I have even noticed some more new(ish) releases finding their way into the available streaming movies. With online video really picking up in terms of popularity, I would expect that catalog expansion is becoming more of a priority for them. One of the biggest draws of Netflix has always been its huge selection of movies. I think this will continue in the future as the streaming catalog expands.

Online Video Goes Back to the TV

. While some You-tube videos gather 50 million views, thats for 5 minutes. How many minutes would you watch somebody's dancing cat? TV on TV is still king at grabing someone's attention for 1/2 hour or more.

You may be right about YouTube, but when you take into account the shows and movies available on demand through sites like Amazon and Netflix, and for free on Hulu, etc. You're getting your television shows on demand, with less commercials at that.
