This deal is $17. I also get 17 hours of streaming video content off of their website, but as of yet I haven't been able to make use of it because I have a Mac. Right now they only support Windows XP and Vista. If this set top box program is adequately priced, I'd definitely like to take advantage of it. I have to assume the price would greatly increase, though. As I said, I get about 20 movies a month via mail, three at a time, and that costs me $17. If I didn't have to worry about the confines of only getting three movies at a time, I'm sure it would cost me more than I'm currently paying. In fact, there are other deals on the site which allow you to get between 4 and 8 DVDs at a time instead of 3, the most expensive of which costing $48. Something tells me that if and when this service comes into existence, it will end up costing somewhere in the vicinity of that most expensive deal per month.

Although there was something in the article about only getting 17 hours of on demand watching for $17 dollars a month or something like that.
