As for #2. Telling me the day a show aired is useless for me since my weeks go by days and not dates (ex. Saturday is for cleaning; Monday is for the family). Hence, the “preview” is more useful since I can see if it is the episode I wanted.

#3 – P2P? You mean I have to share my bandwidth with other people and pay for the movie?!?! HAAAH! Never going to happen! I suggest that MSFT uses some sort of pre-caching (Akamai?) where several servers are hosting these movies.

@ Robert…

Yes it maybe faster to go to the movie store but here are the advantages of “on demand”:
1- I don’t want another subscription service to rent movies
2- No late fees ever!
3- No scratches from the previous renter that doesn’t know how to use a DVD player
4- HD Movies without having to pay for the XBOX 360 HDDVD add-on (that’s about 33 movies I can watch before I spend as much as the HDDVD add-on!)
5- No need to be hit by a car due to the silly drivers out here! :P

It’s faster to go to the video store, watch the move and return it then to use an “on demand” delivery system. Thanks for a good chuckle :-)
