Well, more than that. It would only take a modicum improvement in technology (either faster download, or more likely, better compression methods) to push 5.5 hours down to 3.5 hours.

And to get two to one compression for movies must surely be easy. MP3 gets 10 to one, and personally I cannot hear any difference. I mean, even if they only use half the pixels in the HD movies, who is going to see the difference?


Movies are already compressed, even HD movies are compressed. If you compress them further, you'll be able to tell, at least at some point.

I know that technology can overcome all obstacles to on-demand HD movie watching in the home. It's just a little bit beyond where we're at right now. It will be harder to get it to some people than to others.
