I will take a DVD any day over streaming media.

I am sure most people feel the same way.

Re: Compared to South Korea? Are you kidding?

you feel like that because our current download options and ISP services do not support those options. But, I would prefer streaming media.

I have been using Movielink and Cinemanow and I like their services.(if they were just cheaper!!) Personally, I do not really care of owning DVDs.. once I see a movie I'm not really interested in seeing it again. I will love to pick from and stream DVD quality videos in a solid broadband connection any day, i just not a possibility today

Right now the preference is probably for DVDs over streaming movies, but I would gladly jump on video over IP if the technology and content were in place. Paying a small fee to watch 1080p movies over a 100Mbit connection sounds appealing.

Yup.

Streaming media picture quality, for the most part, sucks compared to DVD's.

And since the same companies that provide internet access also sell TV and movies, or are eager to get into that business, they ain't gonna be motivated to increase internet access speeds high enough to enable quick downloads of high-quality movies. In Korea, government incentives and investment programs see to it that speeds are high, but in the U.S., regulators believe the best approach is to let corporations do whatever they want.
