Just to point out re. the movie viewing room that for most foreign as well as  
domestic films the right to a free public showing costs $$ (often lots of $$ even  
for an older movie--when a distribution  company buys the rights to sell the DVD  
they often also buy and count on the income from such showings). Right now I think  
the companies are more focused on the threat posed by streaming video, but remember  
that a free-of-charge foreign movie festival based on DVDs people own is illegal.

On the other hand, I have been thinking lately about international TV channels  
(since we just lost most of ours) and it would be cool if one could get a group  
following a serial or movie series on a channel. Presumably they could watch live  
or one could TIVO it to a convenient time.
