And the box will capture the pieces to all the movies floating past that week, regardless if you'd ever want to watch them. After a few weeks it will have accumulated a large library of movies on its disk just in case you have a weak moment and will pay to watch Battlefield Earth II: The Musical.
I think the idea is that the box is always on. It sits and listens to the stream and gradually accumulates all the various movies that the service is sending that week like a Bizzaro World bit torrent app. When you want to watch something, you'll get a menu of what's been completely collected on its drive. If your bill is up to date, the box will decrypt and play anything immediately.
Access to the raw data stream should just need a TV tuner card with (probably) off the shelf APIs. After all, it's not the first time someone has tried to use this data channel.
MovieBeam's movies are encoded in the broadcast signal of PBS stations across the United States
Didn't Win98 have a downloadable content app over PBS signals? Ah yes, WavePhore's WaveTop. Since all the links on that page now go to parking "search pages", I guess that one didn't work out very well.
How well does this stuff grip slippery surfaces like beer bottles or oiled/sweaty human skin? There might be some interesting applications for gloves if it does.
In coin-op arcades, there was Lover Boy. A guy in a trenchcoat chases women through a Pac Man-like park maze. There are various pickups like chocolate, flowers, wine and maybe roofies. Dogs and police chasers. Between each level there was a porno graphic that stretched the limits of 1984 graphics and you had to rhythmically tap the fire button to get two bar graphs to maximum at the same time... Hmm, someone has a Engrish instruction card
It's been a bad article for that sort of post. Say!
*ahem*
I haven't seen any posts yet for simple free energy sources like a working Mr Fusion anyone could build at home. (Annd.. get me a six-pack of red-heads while you're there...)

"Movies floating past on broadast back-channel, decryption on demand"

People are still playing Defender? Wow!
"Reverse the quantum phase polarity of the RDF!"
Really? I thought it was maroon.
Pick any one person, follow their social network out to six degrees of seperation, and you'll have terrorists. Lock all of them up. Problem solved.
Important safety tip, thanks Egon.
The first rave happened in the 1960s. Here's audio-visual evidence
I don't have a problem with the cast of one of those "pimp my ride" shows being sent on a one-way trip to Mars.
Now that's just begging for a Fark photoshop contest.
Never mind car insurance, what about robot insurance? (Oh! They're everywhere!)
Why not have it fire a tangle-web net that sticks to everything? (Including the net itself to snare things that it can't stick to.)

No, I didn't know that.
The write-up of their equipment hasn't been published in hack a day yet, so it doesn't count!
It's nothing to worry about. It's just a standard side-effect of alien-abduction.
Say it ain't so!
Hmm, like maybe this one (trailer)?
No geology? What if it's a bad case of continental drift?
