The difference is with streaming, you sit down, pick a movie, and watch (be it on AppleTV or your PS3 or your iPad or whatever). To download a movie in HD usually takes hours before you can watch.

Zip.ca, iTunes etc.
I didn't realize the download time was really that long. I know I can torrent a show in less than an hour when my PVR flubs up recording it so I assumed it would be at least that good.
To anyone who has the service, how long does it take to buffer enough to start to watch? A few minutes?

It really is nice to be able to start a movie or TV show to see if you like it and not have to download it all only to be disappointed.

Ok, I am sold.
It drives me crazy that I can watch a show on my iPod, then watch a couple on my TV through my O!Play and need to hunt for the same episode, or same spot in the show the next day when I am on the bus.
That alone would be worth the subscription price and the Apple TV.
Edit: It apparently works with my Wii as well! Anything else notable it works with other than the consoles and the Apple devices? WD HD TV? O!Play?
