A question about watching movies on your computer from Netflix

When I had netflix I used to give my friends my account name and password to watch movies, so I don't think there is a limit on the computers you can watch from. The feature is okay, but there aren't very many great movies on the "watch it now" list. I watched some Law & Order, comedy shows and documentaries that way. I stopped Netflix earlier this year. Now with RedBox you can get at least one free rental a week per credit card that you have. Most everything else is available on the different streaming sites.

I've never had a problem watching Netflix on our PC, and it runs on Vista. As for their selection, it pales in comparison to DVDs, but it is their long-term plan, so I'd expect it to grow.

I was watching a bunch of stuff online, and then I got a letter from my internet provider saying that I was using too much bandwidth, and now they are monitoring the account and if I continue to use the bandwidth, I have to change from a residential to a business plan. Not happy.

Recently, I tried to watch a movie and was getting no picture. They upgraded their system so if you have a problem, call them. They guided me through upgrading and now it works. With the watch now feature, you can also get a box that connects to your television and you can watch the movies on your tv. The box is expensive though. I hear so many problems with Vista. A friend of mine who is a tech person said that for the most part, people who buy their computers with vista already installed seem to have no problems. People who install it on their computers seem to be having the problems. I don't have it so I don't know.

I have about 250 movies in my queue and about 30 are instant view (Maybe more). You should be able to go to their site and click on the "watch instantly" tab. You can see what movies they offer to watch instantly. I think they may rotate them. There was one I was going to watch and waited about a month to watch it. When I went to watch it, the watch instantly tag on it was gone.

I love the Watch Instantly feature! I've hooked up my laptop to our big TV in the living room since being home a few times, and the picture is great.

The selection isn't amazing at the moment, but they're constantly adding movies and TV shows. The recent deal with Starz has been great.

I think they just started allowing Macs to stream movies, so I haven't heard too much about it though.
