I've done streaming on both my PC and PS3 at the same time for SD clips so once you have the bandwidth simultaneous HD streaming should work.

This discussion has me interested. I am going to sign up :) I was wondering, will I only be allowed to use one client at a time? I have a HTPC in the living room & a PS3 in my room. Would both be able to stream Netflix shows or can only one device login at a time? If this goes well it might really be a cable replacement yes.

Think I'll be able to pull off consistent HD quality with a Flow 25mbit?

You can watch on as many devices as you have set-up..I've ran it on PS3, Xbox and PC at the same time...no problems

Thanks ah now see what all this talk is about hehe. I've been watching Netflix movies for the past few hours and I must say I was BLOWN away. I tried it on my netbook, things played flawlessly. Honestly I was expecting it to stutter etc since even with my 25mbit connection youtube takes forever. Going to try it on meh PS3.

Seriously considering cancelling my cable service though I am worried this workaround could die any minute :p Wonder if Netflix will catch onto this lol.

EDIT: Ok getting some nice results on the PS3, this is great! (All we need is a NROP section :p)

I think youtube in trinidad has given streaming a bad name, lol

netflix might just be the killer app to justify those massive broadband packages.

If that's the case...then it maybe only a matter of time before they throttle netflix.

So lets hope it isn't.

Hmm if that's the case then let me make the most of it now yes lol. I was up until 4 am "testing" it out :s.

So I dusted off the old Wii to see how Netflix works on it. It works ok, SD of course. One thing I didn't like tho, seems to have less genres avaialble and well not seeing the subgenres like I would on PS3 and PC. Not complaining though, still amazed this thing working so well....this service can turn pirates into paying customers lol

EDIT: Watching an old 80's movie called The Package, this is the bandwidth being used by Netflix on the Wii according to my router.

Amazon Prime users see free unlimited movie streaming
« Reply #53 on: January 31, 2011, 11:41:00 AM »
This looks promising :)


http://www.electronista.com/articles/11/01/29/amazon.starts.testing.unlimited.movies.for.prime/

Quote
Amazon's plans for unlimited movie streaming akin to Netflix appeared to come to early fruition on Saturday as a spotting has shown the service in action. At least one Amazon Prime subscriber has seen options in the Video On Demand section to stream movies and TV shows, even major recent releases, as part of the $79 yearly subscription. The catalog seen by an Engadget reader had 5,000 titles that would show in 480p.

The online reseller hasn't confirmed any of the plans, and widespread reports have yet to emerge. A possibility exists that the unlimited VOD is a trial and isn't immediately ready to go live.

The addition of the feature would be the largest hit to Netflix, whose streaming-only plan has a larger catalog but also costs $96 a year to maintain. It would also mount stiff competition against Apple's iTunes and other pay-per-title services since it would be one of the first major services to merge both unlimited streaming with the option of getting a permanent copy. Adding other Prime features, such as free expedited shipping, could give Amazon a competitive edge.

Amazon's service is also uniquely cross-platform and, in its core form, works on both Macs and Windows PCs as well as TiVos and some other media hubs.

I read abt this over the weekend and just renewed my Prime membership this morning.

What would make this PERFECT is if it comes to our region w/o need for workarounds.
Although a specific DNS may work in this case, I say hells yes, bring it on.

Maybe finally I can cut down on my home storage and use video ON DEMAND service. NB this is not streaming like Netflix.

Hmm so I am getting HD quality right through on my pc. I noticed that my PS3 was only delivering "Low SD" on my HDTV which wasn't looking so hot. Didn't really get chance to fully investigate but after simply using ethernet instead of wifi that problem was completely gone. Sweet sweet big screen HD butter like video :)

Thank you ethernet, thank you Flow, thank you Netflix and most importantly thank you Eroo! hey that last part kinda rhymes :p
