I signed up for Netflix recent to try out their online streaming. I do gotta admit, I do like it. I think online streaming may be the media of the future. You’re already seeing ISP’s prep for it with 50Mbps+ connections. I do wish it had more content for the online streaming but what it does have is great. Netflix seems to have a contract with Starz so any shows and/or movies that air on Starz you can stream instantly on Netflix. I am really not getting any of the DVD’s via snail mail so I just have the basic plan with the unlimited streaming and 1 DVD at a time. It seems to meet my needs.

In an article I wrote about Boxee earlier I mentioned you could use Netflix directly in it. This also can be said for Windows Media Center, XBox 360, PS3 and others. This brings it to a whole new level. I have tried other online streaming media’s like Hulu and the quality just isn’t there. That review is for another time though.  The quality matches your internet speed. It buffers and optimizes the stream according to what the latency and bandwidth is like. A lot of times I forget I am even streaming it over the internet. Even with the awesome quality my other internet applications are not affected. I can browse the web, download, play games etc.. without any issues.

To anyone who likes to watch a lot of movies or watch something they have yet to see or never even heard of I definitely recommend Netflix.
