Comments on: TiVo Gets a Blockbuster Card http://technologizer.com/2009/03/25/tivo-gets-a-blockbuster-card/ Reviews, News, and Opinion About Personal Technology by Harry McCracken & Friends Mon, 22 Mar 2010 04:05:03 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Randy http://technologizer.com/2009/03/25/tivo-gets-a-blockbuster-card/comment-page-1/#comment-11657 Randy Wed, 25 Mar 2009 18:42:45 +0000 http://technologizer.com/?p=9611#comment-11657 Your link to the article about the different internet TV boxes goes to the Blockbuster OnDemand site and not the article. FYI. I find the VUDU Box to be the most complete out of all of them. I would rather pay per movie for selection and quality than a subscription of lower quality and something I may not want to watch. I think that is the key here. Tivo and Roku are continually adding different services to compliment the others. I don't know anyone who wants to have a Netflix subscription, and occasionally have to go to the Blockbuster service to rent a movie, or grab it from Amazon VOD. Because of this I agree that one box should jump to the forefront. Your link to the article about the different internet TV boxes goes to the Blockbuster OnDemand site and not the article. FYI.

They are working with Tivo to get on demand available and also have a Tivo like box they produce, but you still have to pay for it. [...] [...] Blockbuster is trying though.

It also has a lot to overcome in terms of its reputation as a old-fashioned brick-and-mortar store. I get movie via several outlets -- Netflix, PPV and Blockbuster -- and in various formats. There's no dominant way to deliver media right now. There may be 5 years down the road, but right now, it's everyone's game.
