I can already watch full NTSC resolution films streaming on Netflix. It takes all of about 15 seconds of buffering for the feature to start. Less time than it takes to power up my HD DVD or Blu-ray players.
My cable bandwidth frequently exceeds 1.5 mbps. So downloading lets say a 15 gig movie file would probably only take a few hours. Something that could be done over night.
I don't see physical media going away either, but I can clearly see downloads replacing the rental market.
