Tesco providing digital copies of your DVD purchases

Via Engadget.com

“Tesco’s Blinkbox video streaming service might be facing a less-than-certain future, but that doesn’t mean the supermarket giant is ready concede defeat just yet. Mirroring similar moves by Amazon and Sky, the company today announced it’s now letting customers grab digital copies of their DVDs and Blu-rays, which can be stored inside a Blinkbox account. Tesco will rely on Ultraviolet to provide a locker service, making previously-bought titles available to instantly stream or download across a wide number of devices, including the new Hudl2. To get started, you’ll need to create your Ultraviolet library, link your Blinkbox account and then get streamin’.”

This sounds like a good idea.
