As long as my internet provider's download cap stays at 60 GB per month, I'll be sticking to watching films on Blu-ray, as I'd imagine I'd burn through my limit pretty damn fast if I started streaming HD movies, especially if they bump them up to 1080p in the future. Plus Netflix's selection in Canada is pretty crappy right now. If I lived in the US and had a good pipeline and high or no limit, I'd definitely jump on this deal, especially for watching more obscure and older stuff.

Well, there is always Hulu Plus.
Hulu Plus dropping to $4.95 per month? That's what she said.
They have some obscure titles. Such as Buck Rogers and Johnny Sokko and his Giant Robot.Comment

Both digital cable and streaming can't beat Blu-ray for HD though. Both digital cable and streaming will have more compression and are usually 720p.Last edited by mego73; Oct 27, '10, 3:37 PM.Comment

The quality depends on your internet connection speed. My quality was not so hot until I updated my modem and got higher connection speeds. Now, the quality is on a par with digital cable now for the most part. Before, what was marked HD looked like a DVD to me but now it's seems to be authentic HD. Watched a bit of "Fantastic Voyage" in HD, looked great (and I have an ordinary wi-fi connection for the Roku)

Because of this post, today I watched my first streamed Netflix movie. The quality was not that bad...and I got instant gratification and also could pause it whenever. That was so handy.Those who look outside dream. Those who look within awake.
