Blockbuster OnDemand now works with a set-top-box, referred to as the MediaPoint Digital Media Player (produced by 2Wire).
They describe it in a strange way – rent 25 movies for $99, get the player free. Then rentals start at $1.99 each. Seems like you’re buying a player and getting some free rentals, but anyway…
The player includes HDMI, component, and composite output. Most movies are in SD, but the box is capable of HD playback, and Blockbuster expects this format to become more common.
Everything looks pretty slick, the box includes both Ethernet and Wi-Fi for accessing your Internet connection. One interesting thing – there is also a USB port, which is not mentioned in the instruction manual. Wonder what it is for?
If you would like to check out the box or order it, head over to Blockbuster OnDemand.
