Everyone in technology wants to do it. Intel, Microsoft, Google, Apple...

The content providers aren't going to allow it any time soon.

yehness,

What device are you attempting to stream on? Desktop, laptop, TV, Nintendo Wii, BluRay player, Roku, iPad, etc.?

Also have you found a new router yet?

Netflix changed their name to Quickster. Maybe that's why OP is having trouble? OP, look for Quickster and you should be good.

im wondering why were not seeing online live networks yet. netflix might very well have channels some day...

Inability to reliably multicast over the public Internet is a big reason.

For quality streams, the unicast bandwidth would just be too high.

I attempted on my iMac. Sounds unbelievable but I never tried using Netflix until over the holiday.

Also, I haven't decided on a new router. Any idea which to go with?

Hilarious, listen there are a lot of folks that haven't used Netflix.

you're getting ragged-on here because there is no option to download content on netflix. So, it is either assumed that you are blithely unaware of how it works, or just trolling for lulz.

either way, it's all in good fun. Glad to see you got some helpful responses.

:D

Oh wow, I know NOTHING about Netflix. I had to add a streaming package or something either way it works now. Thanks.
