Anyone ever try CinemaNow? (watch movies online for fee)

[Jeraden]

I got an email about CinemaNow offering 99 cent PPV movies this weekend. Anyone ever try them before? I'm wondering how the quality is and if its even worth it?

Looks interesting, no clue if they are legitimate or not though. :/

I've used MovieLink before and it works very well. The quality is as close to DVD as you can get with that type of format. It's great for a laptop on a long trip.

They're legitimate- they're one of the online stores linked to in the new WMP10 Public Preview

99 cents huh, sounds good, but has anyone try to watch the movie through a real TV (linked through your computer of course)? Is it comparable to regular cable?

I think they're 700kbps streams, so maybe somewhere around vhs quality?

I checked it out after reading this post. The viewing quality is up there with any dvd (on a computer crt). The problem with them is the movies they're offering. If you're a B movie fan, check 'em out.
