Re: Pointless said by pnh102:said by gatorkram:Not everyone has an HD tv yet. And I can tell you use netflix, and already enjoy their high quality downloads.. I refuse to watch most low-def programming anymore. The picture quality is awful... but that's more because of my cable provider then anything else. said by gatorkram:Oh wait, you don't? What a surprise, a review, and an opinion without seeing or using the product.. I do have Comcast, so I am perfectly qualified to comment on the result of watching a video stream using their Internet service. Do you have Netflix? |

Mount Airy, MD | No. I already pay enough money to Comcast to get me all the low-def content that I won't be bothered to watch. Why would I pay someone else money for more low-def content?
Are you suggesting that just because I haven't seen low-def content from Netflix via this service that I shouldn't be commenting? Does Netflix' low-def content "magically get better" because of this offering?

Two different things. |

For me personallly it is not. I am not sure if my 5 year old cares if a movie is HD or not.. Ilove my BluRay player, don't get me wrong. But a hi def movie on Xbox Live is about 5 gigs or so and on my 5 mbps DSL line it would take forever and a day to watch.
I like the Netflix option as the movies have very little buffer time. I am into instant gratification.  |

I don't watch much TV; I don't use my Netflix very much. I won't pay $39/month in order to watch one cable channel.
I find Redbox sufficient for my very occasional boredom-induced need to watch a DVD, and the terms more than reasonable. The selection is very limited, but thats ok.
I expect the Netflix STB will actually be a hit, so long as they make efforts and strides to grow their "instant viewing" library from 10K titles to 50K titles. The internet viewer quality is excellent - it will certainly look good on my NTSC TV. No desire for HD here. |
