Today on Contentinople:

• Amazon is launching a new streaming service, Video On Demand, which allows users to rent and watch movies immediately for $2.99 to $3.99.
  
  
• DVRs are not just good for collecting all those episodes of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air on at 3 a.m., it turns out. They also contribute to family harmony, according to a new survey. Eighty-two percent of the respondents said the device "improved family life," and 79 percent of couples said it improved their relationship.

And in today's News Bits, major movie studios leave South Korea, perhaps signaling the decline of the DVD.
