Netflix TV Show Streaming

[olds]

Does Netflix streaming have commercials?
Just bought a DVD player that has Netflix capabilities but I don't do commercials.

If I have 3 devices that stream Netflix, can I stream different shows to all 3 at once?

Wrong section.
Ban!

 

[alfa147x]

But no they do not have commercials

[alfa147x]

Yes, up to 6
I think

 

[Cyco]

No

Yes

You can only have 6 ACTIVE devices at once and from those devices you can stream to 3 at 1 time.

My internet connection has enough trouble with just one stream. I average medium quality standard def.

haha, yeah. can't imagine what the PQ would be like with 3 streams running.

the Starz content would be a 200x75 blocky mess of crud.

56k fail.

My streams spend most of their time in X-High HD, sometimes dropping to High HD. That's with 5.1 audio. The stereo streams spend even more time in X-High. That's with Comcrap cable.

A cable connection can sustain at least two High HD streams at a time. I tried that once with my laptop and PS3 and both worked fine in HD. That was before the 1080p 5.1 PS3 days, though, so both streams were just 720p stereo.

Is the PS3 still the only thing that can stream 5.1? That's the one thing that really annoys me about netflix streaming - I'd take 5.1 sound and standard def over stereo and 720P...

I think its Comcast being assholes. I see X-High HD sometimes but for the most part I'm in SD somewhere.

on a PC or Mac you can manually force to use the highest available bitrate stream with a keyboard combo that brings up the silverlight stream manager that let you choose. The auto sensing algorithm they use is a total joke, I have a 30Mb line and their auto sensing crap always picks the 500kb stream

What is the keyboard combo?

Tried Netflix and Hulu Plus.
Netflix was good. Hulu Plus sucks and I'd never pay for the suckage.

I agree... Can't play half the shit I watch on my PS3...

love netflix, and since its snowing, im watching 30 rock all day.

 

[waggy]

I love netflix on my ps3. i just wish they had more to watch.

I'd likely only have one stream going at a time. Just want flexibility. If the wife is watching Dr Oz on cable, I could go in another room and stream something else.

How good is Netflix's television show selection? I was under the impression all their streaming stuff was old movies and didn't know they streamed television.

Pretty good actually, but it's not new stuff. Your not going to see last weeks show. Just stuff that has been released on DVD. Go to the website and you can browse the streaming library and see what they have.
