...where you download the movies instead of having them sent to you by mail? I saw a commercial for it but I completely forget what it is called. Does anyone know what I'm talking about or use it?

Thanks for the help.

I heard Netflix and Tivo were working on this.

it was on the news that amazon was working on it as well, but i doubt they have a commercial for it.

and i know torrent sites dont have commercials.

Nah, that's not it. It works like Netflix where you pay so much a month and get what you want, but the difference is you download instead of having them sent to you by mail. Sounds better to me.

From what I've heard, all those services suck right now. You are stuck watching it on your PC because of the DRM. Personally, I love Netflix. I haven't had any problems so far.
