Y'know they can stop right now, I just noticed that they have on streaming:

Killer Klowns From Outer Space

What more do you need to watch?

Also keep an eye on: http://feedfliks.com/streaming/coming-soon

I have no idea what to watch first.....I'm a lover of many types of film be it a good movie or bad movie as long as it's entertaining or hilarious....So much to watch....

Well....Post recommendations I suppose? Or what you plan to watch?

just signed up for the free trial and am very impressed with Netflix. I usually spend ~ $15 a month getting movies on demand, but I think 8.99 streaming is a great deal.

And you get 1 DVD rental at a time too for that !

Only thing I do like about physical dvd's is being able to rip and copy them.

I still get a good use outta dvds. I usually pick Tuesdays & Fridays for watching em. Right now I'm burning through Burn Notice. Fun show.

I still value discs....Also good for when going to a friends house & wanting to bring a flick to watch.

For keeping up to date with streaming I use the Streaming soon site I posted in my previous post & check Nowhereman's Netflix list daily: http://www.thenowhereman.com/netflix/ <--Which he just got hired to work at Roku: http://forums.roku.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=31608 for his awesome channels: http://www.thenowhereman.com/roku/

For a list of Netflix sites. On the bottom of the Netflix site look for App Gallery: http://www.netflix.com/AppGallery

Also going slightly off topic but still related to streaming. On user profiles. Other household members can set taste preferences & such. It works well. However it sucks as other user profiles do not list streaming titles!

So you have to add them as a friend & look at there Queue on your friend list on your profile to see which titles are streaming....You can't see which are streaming soon unless you click on them.

Great....Love Netflix they just need to tweak a few things....You know like also add closed captions & 5.1 for streaming....Two things suppose to come sometime soon....

Maybe it's a glitch but some titles that were suppose to stream haven't yet & the streaming soon date is gone....

Like the Indy movies....

Maybe something went wrong with those streams?

so how will bandwidth caps effect this?? don't they have to compress the video and degrade edge sharpness and other quality video/audio compromises??

I too wonder this as well - bw caps and streaming video [netflix, hulu, youtube, etc] - would I realistically be able to watch streaming videos/shows/movies all day without exceeding let's say comcrapts 250gb per month cap?

I freakin LOVE NetFlix streaming. I don't even bother with DVDs.

Netflix seems to list if a movie is becoming available to stream. I added the first Friday movie (since I've never seen it and I heard it's not too bad) and it says that it's available to stream on 9/17.

Although, I'm still wondering why I signed up for a month long free trial and was only given the usual 14 days :hmm:.
