Zediva is a streaming service that lets you watch new movie releases online. For $US2, the company sets aside the new DVD you’d like to see, along with a DVD player, reserved just for you. Your remote control? Your computer, tablet or Google TV. It’s a cunning workaround to let you stream these new releases since technically, the physical DVD goes “out of circulation” for the time that you’ve borrowed it.
The service is $US2 a rental, or 10 for $US10, and you get to keep the each movie for two weeks. Available right now, but we can’t guarantee that it will be for much longer. [Zediva via Wired]

Friday, March 18, 2011 at 5:27 AMZediva looks interesting..Netflix is great, but it often bogs down my connection. Like some others here, another option is the TVDevo website which seems to run faster and it supports slower connection speeds. The only thing is that its mostly for TV shows and broadcasts more than movies. Amazon might be a choice for movies, but TVDevo is a good alternative.
