The problem of limited selection was quickly solved, however, with the advent of mail-order movie rental. A subscription to a mail-order movie rental service would allow you to choose from literally tens of thousands of movie titles, set them up in your rental queue, and have them mailed directly to your door. Now, though, the trade-off was time. Once you mailed back the movie you had finished watching, it took a few days for the next one to arrive.
At long last, it looks as though we might have arrived at the ultimate movies-at-home solution: movie downloading. When you download your movies online, your selection is virtually unlimited, your wait time is minimal, and your costs are affordable.
Depending on the online service you choose, there are several methods used to obtain
movies123 online. The first is streaming video. You can stream video either to your computer or to a device attached to your television. You can start to watch your movie almost instantly, and the price is very reasonable... in fact, a few subscription services include unlimited streaming video in your membership package. The one drawback to streaming video is that you can't save the movie to a DVD or other storage medium and take it with you for watching elsewhere or in the future; you are limited to viewing it on the device to which it is streaming.
