Question to Netflix Streaming Users

I do not have netflix but I was in another discussion the other day and someone recommended it. I was thinking sometime next month I would look into to it. So I will revisit your discussion to see if others are having similar issues and then I may reconsider.

Heysnugglebunnies, I have Netflix for my wii ps3 laptop and iPad. Lol Netflix is a online live streaming way to watch tv shows and seasons, documentaries and etc. Netflix isn't a automatic straight watch movie well any movie. Movies that say add isn't able to be watch live streaming. The ones that say play you can watch it live streaming. It will take a lot of data base to watch all those movies live streaming a lot believe me. Movies are long. The ones that say add or queue you add it to your list and they will be send to your home one at a time. Once you mail it back which will come with an envelope to send it back then they will send you the next one on your list. And so forth. Live streaming is just like watching YouTube video online. It's save in there data base but you have to remember YouTube videos are the most 15 minutes long and or 2GB of data. Movies sometimes are GB's long all depending if it's HD or how long the movie is. So in the end Netflix decides what movies you an and cant watch. New new movies you can add to your list but it will be days or months before a new new movie be lie streaming. That's why most on there are old or fairly old. You can add new new movies that just came out to your list. But honestly just go to blockbuster or Order it on comcast for all that haha it will take about 3 days to come to your house haha. I hope I was clear and you understand everything i said.

I have been watching Netflix through the Wii. Some shows are only available on hard copy through the mail. Like House M.D. I can only get the hardcopy not have it streamed. I am a little upset that I have been watching Bones throught the Wii and now in the middle of Season 3 there are several episodes not available for streaming just hard copy I don't really understand that either.

I stream through my PS3 and never had a problem with availibility. If it says it's available it plays, no problem. Perhaps it's the Wii or your connection.

I just got a Roku box over the weekend and was very disappointed to find that not all of the "watch instantly" shows/movies you can watch on the computer were available on the television. For example, I have a netbook so watching videos on my tiny little computer screen is not the funnest thing in the world. But I had started watching the BBC miniseries based on Neil Gaiman's book Neverwhere and was really excited to now be able to watch the rest of it on the television instead of the tiny computer but it's not available on the television/Roku box.

We have had Netflix Canada since the middle of December. I don't know if you get different programs while trying the trial month or not. What I have noticed is that they must mix it up a lot. One day I will see a show that I want to watch, the next day, it might not be there. Another day, it will be. I still continue to see new releases on it. of course, we here in Canada, do not have the newer releases like in the US...but so far we love it. We have ours streaming through the Wii, as well.

Yes, I've noticed the same issue. Seems to me that anymore on Netflix you have to add anything decent to your list and actually get the hard copy in the mail. Other than that you're stuck with watching old titles that you've either already seen or wouldn't want to. I'd really like it if they would add more and update the listings more often. Best of luck with it.
