First, the music industry took a hit when buyers embraced the online distribution format before the record executives were ready to give up the old formats. Then, classic games forgotten by their original production houses found an audience online via pay to play and emulator sites. Since then, the ereader has made significant changes in how the traditional publishing model and bookstore operates. And now movies for home entertainment are starting to catch the proverbial facelift. Today, you dont need Blu-Ray. You dont need DVD. All you need is an Internet connection and a device capable of streaming video.

High definition, or HD, movie streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, Cinema Now, Crackle, and Blockbuster need all changed the way that people watch movies. Traditional cable packages are also taking a significant hit. The convenience of watching from home without any, or with very little, commercial interruptions is simply too much to resist. If you run a site and you're wondering how to catch people more interested in the content, then you should take adding this feature to your holdings. When you catch ready to enter into this business venture, however, there are some things you need to remember:

First of all, you need a means of support. You could try streaming movies like an outlaw or common pirate, but if you got caught unlawfully distributing the merchandise over a live streaming feed, then you may end up paying some hefty fines or even serving jail time. Another option is to need enough advertisers to support the programming without having to pay any out of pocket expenses on your own. Yet another system that has worked for sites like Hulu and Netflix is the subscriber supported model. Users pay you a monthly fee and you air whatever movies you can catch the licenses to. However you choose to do it, it's important that you need two things covered.

Number one, you are going to need a bigger Internet connection to support the streaming of HD content. Multiple users could be flocking to your site, and you dont want to disappoint them with a slow and sluggish viewing experience. Check with your hosting company about an upgrade. Number two, make sure that you've got the revenue built up well enough to handle costs for the content.

The world is changing immediately. Today's television channels may one day be a thing of the past, their markets too small to survive pricing undercuts from pirated content. Today's small time programmer could be tomorrow's main player. If live HD movie streaming sounds fun to you, this is a great time to catch involved.
