Why is this better than just picking a movie from your TV screen using your remote? Why is it better to have to go to my computer first, find a movie, download it, send it to a TV, and then move to the TV to watch it? I don't mean to be a kill joy, but I just don't see the advantage.

It is not a huge advantage Bill, it is just another option.

I don't know guys. On Demand on my TV works with the remote and there are already about a thousand more free things on there than I can watch in a week. Yes, the recently released movies cost $3.99. I might watch one of those a week. I'm not sure how you get them for free on the internet. I can't imagine they are of any quality if they are "free" Whatever floats your boat I guess.

You *can* get far better quality video for free on the net than you can via cable. The catches are it's not exactly legal, it takes a while, and it might be tricky to display on your TV. It just comes down to how much work and risk you're willing to take on to save yourself some money.
