They've got an open door into your pc to see what you've got huh? Wonder how wide that door is, and just what they'll be able to look at or for. Wonder how many hrs it'll take before it's hacked? “content is managed centrally on the Kontiki platform”

When the TV advertising folk start talking about 20 and 30 minute long adverts for some sort of TiVo like service, you have to wonder who would want to watch a commercial of that length. Would these idiots find themselves inundated with 30 minute commercials trying to sell Hummers (or a Hummer Wanna-be ) with gas prices in such flux and upward trends? Or other equally dumb stuff? Along with crud no one would want to sit through, let alone contemplate using the bandwidth for it. I get depressed enough over the stuff I can't affford in the 30 SECOND commercials, I'm sure I'd be thinking of offing myself if I had to sit through one THAT long, for crying out loud. And really dumb old movies just wouldn't fly. We get enough of that on cable, no need to suck up bandwidth for that. Wait and see what they offer commercially, and what's available for free and see if you can tell the difference, unless you're willing to pay thru the nose for anything.
