Streaming Movies

Not to be outdone by Hulu, the movie studios are joining together to create a new streaming movie venture called Epix. This channel will live as part of a basic cable package and for those consumers who receive access to the channel via basic cable, they will also be able to stream the movies for free on their computers.

No commercials. None.

The folks at Mashable.com already poked some holes in this program. My hope and dream is that the movie studios make Epix available to all consumers, even if there is a subscription fee. And this could be a game changer for streaming video. It will definitely give Hulu and NetFlix a run for their money.
