I see it as an app issue.
I think the next combination of great sites will take advantage of viewing video on your big screen tv as one component of interest. But then again what would I know about video on demand . . .

I agree here that it's an app issue, but also, you MUST have a good, safe payment model for mobile. An incremental model. Something for 99 cents"ish"
Now, your big screen holds more promise. But the obvious, "set top box" ain't gonna get it done. (As NOOF found out, to their loss.)
Can't make that work, and not because of price or tech.
You got to get it into a Roku box, locked away. Otherwise, too many "questions" about "what that box is," or "What's this channel, Dad/Husband?"
Convergence of the two? Possibly. There's a move to that. (Mobile device to Hd output.) But it's got to just WORK. Not be screwing around with connections, and figuring crap out.
Gotta grease the porn ramp. (No pun intended)
