I disagree.  TiVo, Amazon, et al, don't care.  It is up to the
consumer to use their bandwidth as they see fit.  Microsoft, Sony,
VUDU, Apple, and others all offer HD downloads already, and more
vendors are entering the market.  Amazon *will* offer HD downloads,
there really isn't anyone who believes otherwise.  There are growing
competitive pressures to do so, and HD content availability is
growing.  The only question is when.

The broadband providers may not be happy about it, which is why
they're moving toward tiered services and caps, but that's between the
consumer and the provider.  And downloading a few HD movies a month
isn't going to come close to a 250GB cap, which is what Comcast is
using.  Mostly hardcore BitTorrent users would be the ones to be
concerned.
