  1. Comment - Movielink to Offer Fox Movie Downloads

    (Nov 21, 2005 - 11:51 PM)

    Correction - movielink worked on US ISP but not Canadian ISPs. Here is what I found from a user at dslreports.com

    "All Canadian ISP's are blocking access to movielink.com and have been for years due to regulations. Also a reason why we don't get HBO channels."

    Thank god for US Dish (smile). Any free high speed US proxy services, or does Canada prefer us to use BitTorrent and other P2P networks for downloading movies? Sheesh.

    I have the same problem: both
    http://www.movielink.com/ and
    http://170.224.7.216
    send me to Geodirect.net
    I have tried using 3 different broadband ISP's, 2 in Canada (Shaw & Primus) and 1 in the US (Verizon using Remote Control).
    What gives?

  3. Comment - Apple to Offer TV Shows in iTunes Store

    Great starting point, but still way off.
    I would easily cancel Satellite ($75/mo) and subscribe to an online service for a competitive rate ($75/mo) and simply download any and all TV episodes or movies that are available on Satellite and Cable networks. In addition, the consumer could select video quality (high, medium, low, etc.). Finally, the downloads would have to be burnable to CD/DVD media for watching in regular players.
    I think iTunes has started what is demanded by consumers, but they're still way behind. Commercial music technologies are just beginning to catch up to consumer demand and requirements. Heck, let the TV/movie downloads use the BitTorrent and other P2P networks to offload server/bandwidth requirements.

    Great idea, but $2-3 per episode??? Come on - my PVR (TIVO) Satellite provides me with all that right now, unlimited, for $40-$75/mo.
