The SD rentals are fairly good—better than most broadcast TV and almost as good as good DVDs. I consider the HD movies to be more or less about as good as satellite HD and not as good as Blu-Ray.

I don’t worry about the download time, but if what you want is to decide to watch a movie after dinner and start right away, you will be disappointed unless you have a pretty fast internet connection.

One thing I’ve noticed is that you can’t expect movies to stay around forever. They seem to come and go without any pattern I can discern.
