| no XBox360 app still. Still no XBox360 app? Great launch.
I was picked to be a beta tester (not a big deal you just email them). But there was no app for any device I have connected to a TV so I never bothered. |

1 edit | They have a free 1 month trial If you want to try it out, they have a free 1 month trial. There is an iOS app. The question is will you be able to use the Airplay option to show on your TV?
Reviews on iTunes App Store says AirPlay only does voice, no video. But one review says Mirroring will work - which if true and you have an iDevice and Apple TV at latest hardware and firmware levels that support mirroring, means you could send to TV.

The web site says they support Xbox 360.

kudos:1 | might be worth it since you get 4 rentals included with the price.
Would have to see if they have what I want to watch. Been a couple years since I had netflix now, so don't know how they compare really. |

kudos:7 | streaming the content available for streaming (subscription) isnt that great right now.
hopefully it gets better in time.
i do like the app for the xbox though it would be nice to see one developed for the ps3.
one really nice feature with the xbox app is the ability to change the display option as native, fullscreen, stretch or zoom.
this is a plus in my book for 4:3 letterboxed movies, where i can fit the letterbox to the screen (zoom).

Re: streaming That is the issue. Netflix could be a 100 better had the content provider stop with the insane time blockers the put on new releases. I do understand that you wish to sell the DVD and blue Rays but come on 2 to 4 years after the DVD and BD why aren't those movies on Netflix jeez. I do hope that Red Box don't run into this issue if not it would be the same issues i just pointed out with Netflix |

| I tried it out as beta Lame. Interface is clunky compared to Netflix, uses Silverlight, so no dice on Chromebooks, Selection is a subset of Netflix. I'd be tempted if they offered things that Netflix doesn't have to augment a Netflix subscription. But a crappier version of Netflix at the same price, what's the point? |

kudos:1 | The fine print ... quote:
* One month free trial offer for new subscribers only. You can cancel any time during the 1-month trial to avoid charges. If you like our service and don't cancel during the trial period, your subscription will continue automatically at the then-current monthly subscription rate.
Uh ... no thanks ... I've been burned by this before with other "free trials" through absolutely no fault of my own, cancelling well in advance of the end of the 30 days and for one reason or another I was charged a monthly fee. Getting a refund is damn near impossible. |

RedBox has the same 28 day delays from certain studios just like Netflix. |

Re: no XBox360 app still. There is an XBox app. It just may not have been put in the app section yet. You can side load it using a USB drive. Google it, it's out there.
I have been using it with my beta account. The app works fine, the service, not so much. Their lack of content is gonna bite them really fast. Plus I had some issues with their streams at times.
The 4 free redbox rentals is nice tho. |

| Almost unwatchable I signed up for the 30day trial over the weekend. It buffers so much that movies are almost unwatchable. This is not just a peak times, so I am not sure what the problem is - my internet speed is 15/1 and seems fine. This is watching with the Redbox Instant app on my Samsung TV with freshly updated firmware.
That coupled with the meager streaming selection means that day 28 will be when I log in and cancel unless something changes fast. |

the app doesnt work too well on samsung smart tv's.
i have the app on mine and experience similar issues as you do.
i prefer the xbox app, this works much better without issues and is much more easier to navigate.

Re: streaming that the issue I have with the steaming service  great movie but 28 days is not bad. Some movies take for years or are not available for streaming |
|
| No Roku app No Roku app. No thanks.
And, although they have apps for some Samsung Blu-ray players, mine isn't on the list. Again, no thanks.
I might be interested in the free trial, but not when I can't even use the service on my TV. |
