It is a great idea. I currently already rip all my movies to a local drive and view them through iTunes. But that limits me to Apple viewing. I have been considering other options. Is there an option for local streaming instead of cloud streaming? I mean for family members who want to watch some of my movies. Can they cache them locally or host a backup of my movies and stream from their local cache? /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
