Default CinemaNow does NOT support streaming.

As far as I can tell, CinemaNow does not support streaming. If this is true and there is no option for connecting any storage to the NeoTV, why was this app even included, let alone promoted as a feature? If you can't download the media, the app is completely useless. Am I wrong about something? Is there a way to stream that I don't get? (I hope so.)

Where did you get the idea that CinemaNow does not support streaming?

I took that quote from their website - it's US & Canada only - so not available to me, but presumably if I was in the US & Canada I could stream it.

Okay, I am an idiot. I had set up CinemaNow on my WDTV which is downstairs, thinking I could start watching the streaming video there and then continue watching on my NeoTV upstairs. But the WDTV devide only gave me the option to download it and the CinemaNow site was totally unhelpful. Of course, when I went upstairs and turned on the NeoTV and went to CinemaNow, there was my movie, waiting to be streamed. So, the score is NeoTV 1, WDTV 0, my reputation for not being a moron... 0.

So you're saying the WDTV won't stream CinemaNow - I find that strange - but I don't know that I feel inclined to pay per movie - I'm not that much of a movie buff.
