Today SanDisk will also begin a public beta of a "premium" download service called Fanfare. Fanfare will offer both free (ad supported) and pay content, and not surprisingly it will use DRM compatible with the TakeTV devices.

I have been looking for something like this product for my mother. Hopefully it will not be overpriced. If only it had better quality output, then I may consider getting one.
I wonder if you can hookup an external HDD instead of using the USB drive.

More DRM served up as a cow chip
sorry, but my xbox running XBMC can do everything this does, plus a whole lot more. At (most likely) a fraction of the price. Without DRM. Without ads. Without the "premium" download service Fanfare. Without all the other hoops they will probably make you jump through to use this product.
I like this idea if this goes ahead and becomes fully mainstream it will work to have a usb connection on a TV device or DVD player much easier to manage avi files than to convert them to DVD's.
Why not just buy a DivX DVD Playes.I've got a HDMI connection from my computer to my TV with a remote control for the computer.T his solves all my problems
Who needs to do the conversion to DVD. I have a D-Link media center that streams music, photos and movies over my wireless network. Simply download the file to your computer (it is limited to Xvid and MPG support as Divx is licensed) Then with my media center connected to my TV I select the menu and get a list of all the files on my computer and push play. Works Great!
DAMN!! even PS2 does that! LAN or USB through SMS.
Sandisk is by far one of the top software companies. Here in Silicon Valley they rank among the top 10
