VOD and downloadable media are a long way off.

Really? I know for a fact that Foxtel and Sky are both developing the ability for their set top boxes to download episodes and movies directly from the satelite to save to the STU, and then view - at any time. I think that the technology will pay off, because it enables you to sit down at the TV, and beam down the show you want to watch when nothing's on. It's a great idea, and it will work. From what I've heard, they both plan to release this technology within the next few years.
