So, one of my kids was sick this weekend, and just wanted to lay around. So, I signed up for netflixs, and tried out the movie download feature.
Wow. So easy, and the picture quality was amazing. I plugged my laptop into my projector in the basement, and hooked up the audio to my receiver. The picture quality rivaled DVD, and it is unlimited downloads... Although the selection is not that huge at the time. But, still, everytime I would get my netflix movies I'd end up not liking one and wishing I had another... Now, I can just download it while watching... Pretty cool and very easy. And with plans starting at $9. its a good deal.
I need to watch a new blockbuster and check that out, as I watched Dr. Doolittle from the 60's and it was in film aspect ratio and looked fine, but I want to try out something like the new batman, just to see.
This is the future of TV... commercial free, instant access.

That isn't free. You are paying them to use the service each month.

I just started a Netflix account.. I love it, at first I was just going to use the two week trial, watch some of my shows for free then remove it...but I indeed up keeping it, and will be for some time... no way am I giving up all these HD shows/movies I love to watch.
The Difference on a HDTV is unmistakable... going from regular 480i Tv to 720p is very nice..

You know what, 50K a year in college is pretty amazing, I'll give you that. If you were expecting me to get pissed, think again.
My college is free, I earned a scholarship by graduating with a 4.0. Not that I needed it, I saved enough from the time I started to the time I lost my job that I'm pretty much floating free and easy with a 40K vehicle, a girlfriend, and college.
People like you are arrogant, self-assured, and put a bad name to the elitist ideas that you push off on society. And that's from a conservative.
Also, Netflix is BS.
I tried their streaming movies for a while, never anything good, and I always end up letting my subscription sit until eventually I cancel and start renting from the local dvd store again.

This thread is amusing in a sad kind of way.
I'm having a hard time deciding what is worse . . .
. . . that a netflix thread turned into a series of political affiliation based personal attacks . . .
. . . or that someone started a name-calling contest and lost so badly that they both back-pedaled on their comments and tossed out additional insults in the same post (including resorting to disparaging Netflix) . . .
. . . oh, and congratulations FE; I think you've replaced Linus as the forumer most likely to get flamed/trolled by immature people who can't handle the fact that some people disagree with their basic belief system.

I haven't noticed anything bad as far as quality goes. Maybe your internet connection isn't quite strong enough?

I get pretty good quality over Xbox Live and Netflix. In fact, some of the movies are showing in HD according to my television.

Wasn't on my connection, but their little meter said the connection was fine at my friend's house when he tried it on his 360.

Sorry bud but the quality of Netflix on my end is in HD, 720p and looks beautiful, like I said earlier the difference between regular T.v compared to the HD on Netflix is astounding.
Most likely its you're connection.
P.s Kasplinkit?...

Who needs near DVD quality when you can get DVD quality elsewhere?

Paying for HD FTW, you don't have a HDTV do you... Near DVD Quality? ... no you don't have a HDTV or you just have no clue what you're talking about...
Sure we can all rip DVD movies off with torrents but try burning a HD Movie ... All I use Netflix for is the HD and it has Alot of it...
Get a clue before you make you're next post...

Learn to read names and not avatars. I am not High Voltage.
Also, I don't have an HDTV because I find the whole thing to be a waste of money. There is no reason the quality of a DVD isn't good enough for anyone.
Also, why would I burn movies? That is what my Ipod is for.
In the end, you're still paying for netflix' SUPER AMAZING QUALITY, where as I pay zero....

I see you didn't notice I removed the HV from the post... either or my mistake, not my fault you both have that.... avatar...
Either or its 9.99 a month for HD shows, as Many as I want? try doing that with any other company, try Paying for every season or movie I watch at full price...
To put it simple my avatar using friend "You don't have a HDTV, there for you have no idea what I am talking about... you need to see it for yourself standard DVD ratio has "NOTHING" on what true HDTV can provide.
If you argue with that point, then good for you soldier...

I have seen HDTV, I have watched HDTV. I do not care, regular DVD is fine Mr. Best Buy salesman.
The point still stands you have a $10 a month bill....

Where I would have payed over 120$ for the movies/series I have watched in just a week not to mention in HD, so yes I have a 10 dollar bill instead of 120$ you're right... and next month I will have another 10 dollar bill, instead of most likely hundreds of dollars worth of shows watched.
So the point to you're argument is You don't like paying for the "Good stuff" I do..
Oh and Tiger Direct FTMFWMF??? Best Buy he says...
This started out as a Picture Quality debate, now its how much it cost.. so uh how about how long it takes for them to mail movies to you? oh thats right it's instant...

I do think it started talking about the cost way back on page 1.
I have an HDTV btw, 61" Samsung DLP, that's why I was mocking 720p. Honestly I don't care what resolution people watch. You can still download (HD) material for free without using Netflix, and that was my original point in the third post.
Now to make it easier to tell jmac and me apart, I shall modify my avatar.

What did you do during school? |
I was a professional freestyle bmx trick rider, and flatland instructor at woodward bmx camp.
I ran steadycam for film and video freelance. I was a producer, director, editor, cameraman for ETV in Oklahoma. I ran the flying camera on a nationally televised prime time tv show. I was a freelance handheld camera operator for sports events including football, and ultimate fighting (MMA), and the miss America pagent.
My paid internship was a sales and training position at Fairview AFX where I beta tested ImMix and Avid nonlinear editing systems, and used my editing knowledge to implement a bunch of changes to their systems which ended up getting into the final release of the systems, many of which are still on the systems today and have been copied by almost all of the low end non-linear editing systems. Each ImMix I sold I got $8,600, and I sold 7 of them in 6 months.
I was also the troubleshooter, and repair tech to support each system the company sold in our region, which covered Ark, OK, and all of TX. So many days, I would finish class, and head to work only to be told to head to the airport and fly to TX to fix an edit suite, when it was back up and running, I would fly back to school.
I also ran a silk screening business out of my dorm room, and later my apartment making custom t-shirts, and went to school full time. Oh, and during spring break, I worked on the major motion picture, "The Hudsucker Proxy" in Wilmington NC.
