it is possible to force the netflix viewer to display at a higher resulution. My 1.5Mbs DSL defaults to the lowest resolution. If I fource it to the next level it looks decent, and have had no problems. Call Netflix tech support and they will help you.

Netflix + TiVo is a winning combination of the future, but does not exist unfortunately due to the restrictive atmosphere of business licensing.

Instead, we get Amazon Unbox with its unreasonable 24 hour watch period.

I’ve tried the Netflix streaming, Guba, Joost, Reeltime.com, Cinemanow, and just about everyone else. Joost wins for content and Reeltime wins for quality. Can’t wait to see who comes out on top.

I like to watch movies at http://www.reeltime.com. it offers the best deal so far, lower price/highest video quality… they will be adding a lot more contents.

Check out Reeltime.com. They already provide unlimited streaming DVD quality movies for only $8 a month. It’s the best currently out there.

Netflix already offers a streaming service, but you were only able to stream the movie into Internet Explorer. When I signed up for Netflix, I was pretty excited for this “On Demand” feature, but then I found out that Netflix thinks my Internet is too slow (I have 1.5 Mbps DSL) and will only give me the “Basic” low quality streams that seem to be worse quality than TV. If this new Roku box is going to stream movies at the quality Internet Explorer does, I suspect there are going to be a few unsatisfied people. However, if you could tell me that Roku box can download the full high quality video, then please tell me where I can buy one.

Who at Netflix cares about unlimited streamed content when you’re cutting your post costs significantly?
