| Netflix Super HD/Open Connect I was curious if Teksavvy was looking into this...
It's posted on the front page:
»Netflix Starts Offering 'Super HD' and 3D Streams
States that who are on their CDN will be getting this.
Cheers,

Oh yeah Super HD looks really nice on a 27" monitor. I'm on Rogers directly but apparently they're also part of the Open Connect network. |

We have Apple TV attached to our Panasonic LED TV and when you watch shows like Dexter it looks spectacular.

I believe so.
I'm installing Win 8 right now, so I can try this out |

Cable in Kitchener.
The Windows 8 requirement is a joke for the PC playback.
edit: nevermind when I don't use unblock-us DNS it works. I guess no US Netflix in this new format 
edit 2: some US VPN servers support it |

Windows 8 is a polite way of saying "Windows" without have to deal with listing the previous versions.
If your on XP/Vista its a worthwhile upgrade.

said by Tx:Isn't apple tv just the same as any other device like Boxee? I've used WD TV and didn't like it too much. I find the navigation and easy of use on Apple TV to be better. Also I prefer Apple tv because of Airplay. I can stream content to it from my iPhone, iPad, or Macbook- so it makes things easier.

I don't understand this super HD. I thought they already had 1080p streaming.
And these names are getting annoying. HD, Full HD, Pure HD, Super HD, Ultra HD.
I guess I'll just call it Full Pure Super Ultra Deluxe HD.
I can't wait to hear what they'll call 4k/8k media. |

It's a marketing name. It is 1080p but lower compression over their existing 1080p streams. Their existing 1080p streams used a ridiculous amount of compression. |

After having both Boxee Box / WD TV and some other setups the WD firmware is completely god awful. So buggy it is pathetic. It is almost criminal that WD sells these devices with how bad they are. |

AppleTV is only good if you've got other Apple devices and are into the whole iTunes ecosystem... Many are not...
