Netflix Streaming

[OICU812]

I must say that I've ben streaming Netflix for a few years and it rocks. Yes, you may have to wait for some titles to become available, and some won't but for the most part we watch 95% of tv via streaming Netflix. Good stuff. My blockbuster account has cobwebs and tumble weeds bouncing around it.

I love my Roku and Netflix.  They have some different things on there that I wouldn't normally watch which is cool.  Right now I'm working through Eureka - the first 3 seasons.

We just finished the PBS series "Circus". Very entertaining. Thumbs up!

I started watching that but the kids were up and I wasn't sure what they would have on there.

You gotta watch "the man from Earth" if it's still on there.

Love Netflix!  I don't stream a ton, but I do like having that option & getting the Blu-Ray movies in the mail for a whole lot less each month than paying for PPV movies.

I love it through my Apple TV.

BTW, AppleTV movies are cheaper to rent than DirecTV movies onDemand.

Amazon video rentals are sometimes cheaper still.  And buying is usually cheaper from Amazon.

I still don't like my Apple TV2g as much as my Roku.  We only use the Apple TV to stream our iTunes.  We even upped our internet speed and it still chops.

The key to getting Apple TV to stream flawlessly is to run an Ethernet cable to it. Upping your connection speed does no good unless you can get the bandwidth to the Apple TV. Wireless just doesn't get it done.

It's hardwired in.  Still choppy.  But the updates that are coming with iOS 5 will make it worth it!

I don't have a device for Amazon movies...which sucks because a bunch of them are free.

I plug my laptop directly into the tv to watch movies (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon).
