“DVD Rental companies will begin doing their business completely over the internet.”

Well they’ll have to find a way for me to burn the movie myself because I’m not going to watch a movie at my computer as is the case now with Netflix’s internet rental service.

SansDisk has an USB do-dad that lets you take downloaded movies to your TV.

I think you might be a bit confused about this service. You still receive the same DVDs in the mail. They added an additional service "free" which allows you to stream movies straight to your computer. You are able to watch as many hours a month as dollars you pay. So if you have the $15 a month plan you get the DVDs as well as 15 hours of streamed movies. I use it to watch really bad 80s television shows like Red Dwarf.

Private enterprise to the rescue. Sandisk already has your answer. "TakeTV" in 4 or 8GB sizes. Download your video to the device, take it over to your TV, plug it in, and use the remoted.

By the time this occurs your “computer” will no nothing more than a hard drive and processor that runs everything in the house. Your “monitor” will be your digital screen.

TV now is really nothing more than a computer playing digital images.
