[QUOTE="user 1447, post: 801399, member: 1447"] call me old fashioned BUT to me thats not a good thing because that really boils down to someone somewhere eventually wanting to save harddrive space and internet bandwidth hence substandard audio and possibly compromised picture quality ..... the whole world does not have the same internet stanards as first world countries and topnotch internet here is still far too expensive for the man in the street so streaming of high quality content is still only for the really rich or really lucky besides i have seen nothing that is streamed or broadcast on TV out of set top boxes that can come close to the audio quality acheived by the actual movie discs - i have watched many supposedly HD or full HD rips that were downloaded but which are smaller in size than the actual Blu-Rays and they were all compromised in some aspect ... mainly audio quality .... DSTV has fair HD picture quality but the audio quality isnt even up to 50% as good as the HD audio on the actual discs so to me this concept you speak of is the same thing to movies that mp3 was to music ..... and that definitely is not a good thing [/QUOTE]
