| Anybody else streaming movies from the new Netflix service? I've watched 4 of the 2005 season of Dr. Who that I hadn't caught and the quality has been fine. Mostly what they have available in the TV downloads are from the BBC. The list of movies is hit or miss with what I'd normally queue, but I suspect more will be available soon. What has your experience of this been? |

| No extra charge. You are limited by the size of your plan. I have the 3 at a time plan for $16.99 so I can stream 17 hours of movies/month. (The weird part is that the time segment is not the 1st through the end of the month, but the billing cycle.) You download netflix software, which only took seconds. Each time you select a movie it calculates your connection speed and then, apparently, uses one of three download qualities to stream. I'm on DSL so my connection varies from basic to good. I honestly didn't notice a difference between what I was watching, quality-wise, but then I'm watching on a 15 inch laptop screen. I was wondering if anyone was streaming to a larger monitor or tv and how it looked and sounded on a fancy system. Minimum Requirements
Computer running Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or higher, or Windows Vista
