Netflix Watch Now
Mar. 12th, 2007 08:27 amI'm totally digging the Netflix online movie viewing feature. If you've got Netflix, you can turn it on right now by going to "My Account" and clicking on the link to the "How can I watch movies online right now?" question. You get as many hours as you pay dollars in monthly subscription fees; I have the baseline $17.99 / 3 out at a time program, and thus can watch 18 hours of online video a month.
Last night I saw my first on demand feature: one of the Masters of Horror episodes from Showtime. The viewing history shows me how much of my time has been used up to the second, which is cool. The viewing experience was great, no choppiness at all, and the resolution was good enough that I could have plugged my laptop into my TV and had a really good streaming experience.
One downside: hours do not rollover at all from one month into the next. That is just bullshit; I'm paying the money, why don't I get to bank at least some of my time?? That's basically an average of something like 150 movies a year... so if I'm not watching a movie online at least every other day, the way I see it, I'm losing money.
