I like the thinking behind this post in Gizmodo, because it is something that I have been thinking about for a while, just waiting for someone to decide its a good idea too.  Adam wants a set top box by Netflix that delivers movies to you over IP, downloading them and letting you watch them, Tivo style, when you want.  I have even written here in the blog that I think that on demand, IP based delivery is the future of all media: music, TV, film, and internet.  Here is what Adam wants to see in this box (some I agree with, some not):

•HD, thank you.

•I want the entire Netflix catalogue available for downloading direct to my TV.

•I want to have a queue of movies, and when I finish watching one I can delete it and start the download of the next on my list immediately.

•While that new one is downloading I want to be able to watch another movie stored on the box. No PS3-esque funny business, Netflix.

•I want to pay a flat, monthly rate for this service, not pay per download.

•I want reliable, fast servers that won’t leave me high and dry on movie night. I’m not asking for HD movies to be downloaded in 15 minutes, but I don’t want to wake up in the morning to an error message or 5% of a file complete.

•If my queue happens to be empty, I want a recommended movie based on my viewing habits to automatically download. I want to be able to put a “surprise me!” item in my queue to have the same thing happen.

So there ya go, now hopefully the folks at the top are listening.
