I've downloaded a couple of things from Amazon, works well. Neat part is you can do it from work, and the movie is waiting for you when you get home. Watch for specials, it's you'll get movies for about $1-2, or the regular price is typically $4. No idea what they charge for PPV, but I don't miss it, never had it.
I think there is technology coming out that might fix the issue, time will tell.
