I'd be really interested to hear what your experiences are with that.

I have seen it. The results are rather mixed, and often vary from one TV to another. Generally the experience isn't too bad, but it just doesn't compare to say DVD quality.
I've downloaded a few shows simply to watch on my PC/Mac, and for that I think this format is ideal. Especially on a notebook for portable entertainment purposes. As for downloading video to watch on your TV...uh, not so much. I'm really hoping there's truth to these rumors about Apple offering full movie content, though I shudder to think what the cost and download time will be. For frequent business travelers wanting to download a movie (or two) to watch in-flight, this would be a wellspring.
