The number of ways consumers can access movie and TV content online is expanding almost daily. A panel of service providers and content owners ask what is required to make a really compelling offer - and is anyone close to achieving this?

Amazon is already exploring MOD (also know as manufacturing-on-demand) in the online environment, but does the technology also offer a way to reach niche audiences in the face of increasing pressure on retail shelf space? And what are the implications for more mainstream content? Is DVD burning in-store a viable business proposition or could MOD in fact become a first step in accustoming mainstream consumers to buying movies and TV programming digitally?

<b>10.00</b> <b>How can retailers best exploit the evolving home entertainment sector? </b> 10.00 How can retailers best exploit the evolving home entertainment sector?
Is there still room for specialist entertainment retailers or does the future of packaged media retailing lie with mass merchants and e-tailers? Can DVDs still drive revenues for non-specialists or only traffic? Which areas of the crucial supply chain could be better managed and how? Are cheap catalogue promotions worth their impact on new release pricing - or should catalogue go online only? Is there any way the industry can avoid a downward pricing spiral for hi-def discs? And does it matter?
