Netflix and LG have recently announced that they will launch set-top boxes. This will allow their customers to watch films through the internet.

Screen Digest has made a notable comment on the long-term potential of this digital delivery. Helen Davis Jayalath, the senior analyst of Screen Digest says that discs will still be the most prevailing system even though watching movies on the broadband has become progressively more popular.

She explained that any kind of digital delivery has the potential eventually to take over from discs of any kind but on the other hand we are still a very long way from those becoming a mass market proposition. She deems that the digital systems are at present slower than suppliers and supporters of the system initially assumed.

With almost 250 million DVDs sold in Britain alone, film sales were up by 13.2% the previous year – stated British Video Association.

The Mediaroom Internet Protocol Television of Microsoft is on the way to reach one million subscriber homes in the first quarter of this year.
