Movie streaming is a way of watching movies on your computer (and someday, on your TV) from the internet.
You can pause, go back, or move forward as you watch. The source of the movie could be a server in a
workplace, but in the home it will normally be from a website.
As internet connection speeds improve, streaming movies will also be offered to consumers in HD formats. Until recently
connection speeds were too slow to do any kind of streaming, but it is now possible. Sites like Hulu and
MovieStreaming.com offer streaming movies, and there are pay services like Netflix, Blockbuster, and many
more. Movies are often called 'on demand', meaning you get to watch them when you are ready. The other kind
of streaming is 'live' streaming, which you get with racing or sports events.
