CinemaNow?

[oppland]

I'm thinking about getting BeyondMedia/Firefly, and one of the big reasons is the CinemaNow piece. Any comments on it from users (good or bad)?

Looked like a nice idea but the execution is still a bit raw. The navigation between spotlight/bm is too inconsistant for my liking but it's usable with a remote. ( I tended to test with a mouse not rf remote).


It's nice now that they allowed access to premium/premium plus account holder content as well as the pay per view. Would I buy BM just to use the spotlight front end? Nah. If I had BM tho, I might use cinema now from time to time.

One warning; I have had issues with video streaming locking up on me - it seemed to be a cinemanow glitch rather than a BM one - but BM didn't recover from it cleanly.
