I have also subscribed to CinemaNow, but their selection of basic movies is really poor so I cancelled it. Then there is MovieFlix -- they have some great stuff, almost all old, from classics to B-movies and it's only $6.95 a month. Plus I can play it on RealPlayer which means I can use my preferred OS -- Suse Linux. The only glitch is they use a 300K stream which is not very high quality.<br /><br />I find that 700K is more than enough and with my Earthlink DSL I can watch almost any stream without problem and have it look quite nice.john bailohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856116708814148994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787649.post-1089374618149043602004-07-09T08:03:00.000-04:002004-07-09T08:03:00.000-04:00Why hasn't anyone mentioned EZ-Ds yet?

They should overcome a lot of the problems you folks have brought up here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787649.post-1089348483803408282004-07-09T00:48:00.000-04:002004-07-09T00:48:00.000-04:00VOD is really overhyped and not a mature distribut...VOD is really overhyped and not a mature distribution system. i don't know what it is; seems like people are always hyping internet services before the bandwidth is really there.jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17080767945526544390noreply@blogger.com
