Comparison of HD movie download services

List of HD movies on Netflix (via TiVo HD or xbox 360) http://www.isitinhd.com/

List of HD movies on Apple TV (not sure how many are available to UK)

Apparently the only TV show in HD for UK Apple TV is Lost season 5. £2.49 each episode or about £42 for whole series

New AppleTV HD releases


Here's the xbox 360 list of SD and HD movie downloads
The UK xbox 360 has 150 HD movies as of March 2009.

Anyone know how many a UK Apple TV has?


March 2009: You can now BUY instead of rent HD movies from Apple

My most anticipated gadget for 2009

I WANT 10Gbps Fibre cheap and now!

That way we could subscribe to any DVR around the world and stream HD!

M-play

Any one used the M-Play VFD for Windows Media Centre?

Good luck Steve Jobs

Hope he recovers soon!

I've not always been a fan of everything Apple (no cut/copy/paste on Iphone) -but they produce truly innovative and sexy products.

A truly great man.

DVR is now a more popular term than VCR or PVR

According to google.com

29m for DVR
21.6m for VCR
11.9m for PVR


However the UK seem a bit behind:
on google.co.uk from UK only:
952k DVR
1.03m VCR
908k PVR

Should UK Digital Video Recorders be called PVRs or should this term be reserved for learning/smart recorders like TiVo and ReplayTV?

PVR in India is a chain of cinemas
PVR in Mexico is an airport
So I'm guessing they use the term DVR instead :)

http://www.humaxdigital.com/uk/ uses all 4 terms: DVR, PVR and DTR (digital television recorder) and HDR (hard disk or high definition recorder?)

Tivo search beta

Humax and Sky should look at this!
And this

The PVR is now 11 years old

ReplayTV launched the first PVR in 1998/1999, with TiVo following a month later.

It's such a shame that Sky+ and all current UK produced DVRs have such poor EPGs and poor software features and design compared to either of those - and that's comparing to models 11 years ago!

Of course the PQ and sound quality improvements are immense, but I had hoped Sky, Topfield, Humax etc.. would have something vaguely as good by now.
I'm guessing it will be 2020 before the old 1998 TiVo and ReplayTV will be surpassed by Sky and Humax etc.. :(

I'm still waiting for Sky to enable a hundred features I had with ReplayTV and TIVo 11 years ago :(

Windows Mobile Sonos Controller

Not tried this out yet -from Versazones.

Alternatively there's a Sonos web server - http://www.purple.org/sonos/

iPhone Sonos controller

A free download - means you don't have to fork out for another Sonos controller -very cool!
