What I want to know is what the hell happened to Netflix movie downloads? This bite-sized Internet content sounds somewhat interesting, but I'm willing to pay for full-length feature films... like yesterday!I went ahead and published TiVo's press release from the wire, since they haven't updated tivo.com yet:<a class="user" href="http://www.zatznotfunny.com/2006-05/tivo-partners-with-brightcove-to-deploy-internet-video/">http://www.zatznotfunny.com/2006-05/tivo-partners-with-brightcove-to-deploy-internet-video/</a>Once they update their site, I'll comment the direct link.

Reid Hastings Netflix's CEO has put off the Netflix downlaod experiment indefinily, becuse online movie rentals are considered to be Video On Demand by the Studios and have to follow the same rental rules as Pay Pay View does on Cable .
