New Disney / Samsung HDD Video Set-Top Box

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that-might-be-neat dept.

MDMurphy writes "Disney announced a new set-top box built for them by Samsung that will hold movies downloaded over the air via what they call MovieBeam in an internal HDD. You'd pay a monthly rental fee for the box and $2.39 - $3.99 per movie for a 24 hour viewing period. Dotcast Inc. provides the movie beaming, sending the digital data out over terrestrial TV broadcast stations. "

    b) poor and want another excuse other than "i'm poor"
    c) a jerk
    d) live in a city where you don't need a car (Chicago, New York, etc.)
    e) all of the above
