I've been saying that the next format will be digital distribution backed up with physical sales on flash memory sticks (for those of you that can't go through life without touching something in meatspace as well as improvethe speed at which you can obtain your product).
At home I'm replacing all of my TV/DVD/DVB set top setups with laptops that are missing their screen hooked up to monitors/tv's and then running mediaportal on them.
Stream live broadcast tv across my network to each client, access centrally stored media, schedule recordings, control it all via web interfaces using ipimp.
I've begun a project to convert all my DVD's to avi and finally be done with physical items until I need to bring another bit of media legitimately onto my network.
It's all moving towards the digital file, the medium it is on just doesn't matter any more as long as it can be mounted by an OS.
