Imagine if XStreamHD could do this...

Hollywood Considering $20-$30 Movie Theater Sidestep

This could be a great use for XStreamHD and would make LOTS of people want one.

Nope this will make me not want XStreamHD $20.00 to rent a movie that is way to high.

Why would people want to shell out the $$$ for XStream HD when they could pay their cable co/satco $20-$30 for the movie?

XStreamHD is a horrible business model and DOA, IMO.

Because you only get the QUALITY for XStreamHD. Cable cant deliver 1080p with the full master audio in 7.1.

$30 for a movie that is still in theaters is CHEAP. I don't know if you have been to the movies in awhile, but when I bring my family of 4 to the movies it is over $75 for all of us.

why pay 20 dollars for one movie when I can get unlimted 1080p BD's by mail for 20 bucks a month?

Agreed. its laughable. I just hope no one actually sent them any money.

And dts MA, months before available on ppv, on demand or disc...

DTS MA and TRUEHD are great, don't get me wrong, but they aren't worth $25 more per movie. If I want to see a movie in the theater I go see it and pay extra if not I wait and watch at home (and likely enjoy it more).

I'd expect to be able to buy a BD in 7.1 for $20-$30. Granted, not as quickly.

I suspect XStream is too niche to make it.

While the movie is still in the theaters?

Well, right now with Xstream, all anyone can do is imagine.

You do have a good point there.

One thing we have seen... XStream has a booth reserved for CES 2011...

 

[lakebum431]

Won't that be CES number 3 (or is it 4?) for them? Wonder if they will actually have a product available for sale at that point...

For their receivers to stay at the high end level, like they say they are, should include HDMI 1.4 and usb 3.0 ports added if they do not have them already.

They also need IP control or RS232.

Some movies come out one month after theater release. I can wait.

Hi Vurbano,

Great question. XStreamHD can provide FullHD (1080p) movies, equivalent to Blu-ray quality without the hassles of waiting in line, lengthy internet downloads or mail order services.

Granted if quality does not matter to you, then XStreamHD is not for you. It is a different model than cable or satellite PPV or On-Demand that cannot deliver our level of quality.

Keep the questions coming!
