Well, I’ve now got three decent options for video on demand: Hulu, iTunes movie rentals, and the Netflix/Roku set-top box (which just arrived a few days ago).
Hulu is free, ad-supported, with mostly TV content. Netflix’s “watch instantly” has old-run DVD content (movies and TV shows) with no ads, free for existing subscribers. And iTunes has newer movies and content for a pay-per-view (err, “rental”) model.
I think we now officially have a competitive market for on-demand TV and movie content.
