I'd be super stoked if I could stream Netflix on the Pre like I do on my Xbox360! That would be awesome, and I hope Netflix will make an App like that, although I doubt it.
As far as Sprint TV goes, the streaming quality is just OK, it's not great. There are quite a few channels included, some of them are Live, some of them Live but also have a Episode component where you can watch your favorite Epidsodes. Others just have clips, not the full show. On my Sprint Touch, Sprint TV is quite the resource hog. Going from portrait to landscape mode and back takes quite a while, and sometimes I think my phone is just not fast enough to handle it. My friend has a Diamond, and the resolution is quite a bit higher and better looking on his phone. Not all shows are shown in the correct aspect ratio, which shows them stretched in one way or another.
If you have a big DVD collection, you can always get yourself a converter program that converts a DVD down to size, in my case, the Touch has QVGA and your average movie is about 230 MB.
Seeing how digital distribution is the future, and with all those comparatively large screen phones out there and the ever expanding 3G (and faster) networks, I am sure watching your movies on your phone will soon be second nature.
I must say, Spb Mobile DVD is doing a very good job of converting movies down to size, I have an older version so I don't know if the new versions support more resolutions, hopefully they do, because I sure want to put some of my favorite movies on my Pre, once I get it.
