As a "free" part of their main service, they can get away with this. If someone is paying solely for streaming though, they can't.]]>Feb 26th 2009 1:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/Feb 25th 2009 8:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/Nearly every of the Starz package are far too grainy to watch, and even the others are never good enough for me to switch to streaming only. Especially for HD!]]>Feb 25th 2009 8:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/
I will totally buy into this, but everyone is right, they are being rightfully-criticized for their limited selection. That's ok when it's a free add-on service, but if people are paying exclusively for it...that needs to change (I think it will though).]]>Feb 25th 2009 10:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/Feb 25th 2009 9:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/

I wonder what the price will be! I rent movies exclusively on my Apple TV, but it's hard for me to fork over much money for an older non-new release.

I'd be tempted to pay for a service that gives me on-demand access to older movies and TV shows for a monthly fee.

I sort of hoped that's the direction Apple would go, but I may also be supporting a different vendor if Netflix raises the bar on movie subscriptions.]]>Feb 25th 2009 10:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/Feb 25th 2009 11:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/Feb 25th 2009 11:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/
I instantly watched a movie a few weeks ago and the video was so bad, I walked up to my 46" Sony HDTV to see what the heck was going on. I stopped the movie. Yikes. Granted another movie I watched was better but would classify it as only view-able at best.

I'm so disappointed by Netflix's video quality and selection of New Releases, I'm checking out other vendors, most notably Vudu since of it's high Blu-Ray like video quality.]]>Feb 25th 2009 11:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/
I wonder if distance to wireless router makes a difference? Mine is only 10 to 12 feet away. So the signal is always strong.

Granted I wish the streaming movie selection was better and that the XBox fans were quieter. But as far as the video goes, I'm very impressed.]]>Feb 26th 2009 9:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/Feb 25th 2009 11:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/Feb 26th 2009 12:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/netflix-streaming-only-subscriptions-coming-in-the-future/Feb 26th 2009 1:02PM
