Anyone doing this?

I watched my first movie last night on the TV, sound was real low otherwise it was pretty slick.

yea, I do it pretty frequently, I suppose. The selection is not that great, but seems to be getting better.

It seemed fine, but I was just listening through my stock macbook speakers, so it could have been horrible and I wouldn't have known.

When I had it I watched it through my 360 and the sound and quality was great, but the selection of what you could watch sucked.

I do the 360 deal as well, make sure I'm not downloading anything before I fire it up, or the quality can be dookie.

I run the Cinema Now system instead of Netflix. New movies and better selection. Plus I can get high def and keep it on up to 5 machines. They also have a way to burn new movies instead of just renting or streaming.

www.cinemanow.com - I saw it in an industry newsletter. Apparently they are powering a Best Buy and Blockbuster on-line movie store. The system works pretty well for the movies I tried. I even put some on my MP3 player to watch on a plane.

you gotta buy them?

They have both buy or rent options. You can also download, burn or put your movie on a mobile device.

I use Netflix Online on both my Tivos and my laptop and it works just fine. The selection leaves something to be desired. My biggest complaint is that there's no way to watch the movies offline that I can figure out.

do you have to pay extra to use NF on your tivo? how's that work?

I haven't used NF Online. I just download from the Playstation Store on my PS3. The selection isn't bad. It's actually cheaper than ordering from Directv. The days of actually going to a video store are over. DVD's will soon be obsolete as well.
