The "Rurr Jurr?"

this has not changed

checkraise,

thanks. looking forward to future updates on your crappy internet connection.




edit: I've watched probably 50-75 hours of "Watch Instantly" and only had to wait for loading during a movie twice, both times while using my school's crappy wireless. Otherwise perfect.

Talking Heads are my favorite band of all time, and this film (that's right bitches, FILM) rules. Glad you liked it.

FYP

Has anyone tried watching movies like this on iTunes or any other source?

just hulu

Weeds: Season 1

maybe the best thing to come out on watch instantly

Bump because I watched Losing Ground (2005) which was....interesting. Something most of us can probably relate to in some fashion, even if just in the "these guys pay my bills" sense.

Just watched all of 30 Rock season 1, but that's the only thing I've used it for so far. Still, pretty nice, because Hulu didn't have it for some reason.

Copying DVD's?

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead

Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, Marisa Tomei (nude!)

I thought it was quite good, though it's gotten mixed reviews

tivo needs a direct interface for this asap. gogogo! i don't care about amazon unbox.

I think they put up some David Lynch stuff.

Don't know if anyone saw this today, but the stock shot up almost 10% after Netflix announced that they are releasing a $99 device that streams movies to any tv. One time charge, does not affect # of rentals in package etc.

Roku reveals first Netflix set-top-box, reviews flow in

i ordered one.

I am very close to ordering one. The Watch Instantly is nice, but pc viewing sucks. even with a nice set up. So I would much rather watch all this stuff on my big screen.

Just wish it was HD.

Yeah, this is seriously awesome.

it will be eventually: The Netflix Player is HD-ready. It has all the connections you need to connect it to your HDTV, and it’s capable of playing back HD content. When Netflix releases HD content for Instant Watching, the Netflix Player by Roku will be ready.

I'd have to upgrade my i-net connection.. 1.5Mbit DSL just doesn't cut it for Watch Instantly.

So the $99 set-top box only works for Watch Instantly movies? Pretty sick still but would be insanely sick if it was for more.

Eventually 100% of movies will be on Watch Instantly, assuming all the movie studios get their heads out of their butts. Once they get permission, Netflix can digitize movies in no time.

i am VERY tempted by the roku, especially since it's hd-ready for when netflix offers it

however, i am not currently a netflix member and so i can't see how good their '10,000 movies and shows' selection is...anywhere i can go to see this? their site only shows a handful
