Other movie download services?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
We use an HTPC (micro-tower case) to view downloaded and recorded TV and movies here at our mountain campsite. There is only a low-rate WiFi here, so streaming doesn't work. We have been downloading material from Amazon Instant Video and playing it back on 7MC. (We download or record-from-cable the material at home.) Up till now this has worked well. All we have to bring is the little micro-tower and plug it in to HDMI TV set.

At the moment, I'm having an issue with a movie I downloaded a while back that will no longer play apparently because of a licensing issue. For the first time since 1995 I'm having some trouble communicating with their customer service, so I'm not real sure what the real issue is.

I'm wondering, are there other download services out there that people are happy with? Seems like Amazon has the downloaded-content market pretty well sewed up.

Diversity is good.

Thanks in advance!

Microsoft's Zune Video service has 720p downloads with 5.1 sound; just download the software. CinemaNow has downloadable video rentals and purchases as well. VUDU has downloads to PC, but standard definition only (720p and 1080p HD is available on embedded platforms; you can download 1080p rentals and purchases to a PS3). iTunes has downloadable (in HD) video rents and purchases. There are other less famous services like Jaman (indie films, Bollywood, etc) which feature downloads.
