    Do you currently use a form of digital downloads?

    Just curious, with all the talk of SD-DVD vs BD vs Downloads, etc. If you chose "other" (something I forgot?) just specify what you mean.

    I will occasionally (once or twice a year) order an episode of a programme I missed with the video on demand service of my cable provider (if it is still available AND I think of it). Otherwise, NONE.

    Edit to add: I don't pay for the TV programmes when I do this. For PAID services (above and beyond what it costs me for cable), my response would be NONE. I selected the middle option without taking "Paid" into account.

      I really haven't tried downloading films yet but game (demos) and movies trailers yes.

      If the ps3 gets the new version of flash upgrade i might try digital downloading on the console as a experiment on the time it takes to load and the quality of the film.

        Could I respectfully ask for a re-wording/addition? I chose option 3 as it's the closest, but I use satellite, not cable.

        It's an instant-gratification thing for me. If I'm in the mood and/or I don't want to wait on Netflix or they don't have it in an HD format, I'll grab a specific movie off the PPV channels.

          Oh sure, though I don't think I can change the options after it's created. I didn't know that satellite had On Demand type service, cool. I would say that would get lumped into the cable category, simply because it's very similiar (i.e. using your current television provider).
