Oh, it doesn't? If it doesn't count multiple profiles then that is hurting me a LOT.. I get 3 at a time, but 2 are on a "TV" profile that gets used way more than the DVD one.

And yeah, I don't think it is taking into account all the profiles. I have one for the wife and one for my daughter and both are not reflected. However since they have to use my account for instant watching, that is through the roof.

wow feedflix is a cool site.
Netflixer since: August 2006 Returned to date: 429 titles Most recent return: 11/May/09 i.e. about 22 hours ago Average time you keep DVDs at home: 5 days Movies seen per month: 12.7 by DVD and 0.7 by Instant Watch It looks like you are on the 2-at-a-time plan which costs $13.99/month Wrong Plan? Fix it! Your cost: $1.10 per DVD With Instant Watch: $1.05 You're in the 28th percentile. i.e., 28% of FeedFlixers pay less than you per movie Last edited by Qrusher14242 : 05-11-2009 at 05:26 PM. |

Same for me on profiles. However, I saw an option to import another profile.. it didn't work on first click and I didn't look more closely.

Couple of things...
1) As far as the instant goes I noticed that it counts an episode of a TV show as 1 movie (i.e. Watching 4 episodes of the office which would be 1 DVD counts as 4 instant DVD's). Not sure how they could fix that but it does lead to misleading information. 2) It is really cool that I can go back and view my entire rental history. I have rented the wire entire season 2 three different times. It seems like 80% of my rentals are tv. 3) I had Breach out for 145 days. Plus I never ended up watching it. If I ever get around to it again it better be a damn good movie!!! |

Figured out the multi-profile thing. It's calculating my 2nd one now.
You basically have to click the add profile thing, then click the sign out option, and sign in with your other profile in netflix. Or you could really just go to netflix, sign into your other profile, then go to feedflix and do the add profile thing.

No. Looks like you can't see the library if you're not signed in. The "Watch Instantly" library is not the entire DVD library. It is really not fantastic at all for movies, but it seems like TV Shows has a decent selection - particularly if you're looking for dvd's not released in the last year or so, but a bit older. Basically you're not getting the newer stuff in "watch instantly". FWIW - it's the same selection as what you can see through XBOX, Tivo, or streamed on your PC.

This makes me feel MUCH better..
With my profiles combined: Your cost/DVD rental is $5.43 Your cost/movie (including Instant Watch) is $5.26 You're in the 86th percentile. i.e., 86% of FeedFlixers pay less than you per movie That's a win for me. Around what you'd pay at BB or whatever, but with much less hassle imo.

Re: Watch Instantly selection. Wade is a bit incorrect. There are actually a lot of new release movies. Some of them, however, are limited release. They'll put a new movie on Watch Instantly for 30 days, for instance. It has a lot more to do with the studio than anything else, I think. Last I knew they claimed to have "12,000 titles" on Watch Instantly.

O RLY? Didn't know that. For my movie watching habits I have a very hard time finding anything I like on it - so take that for what it is worth. I watch a movie every couple of months on many occasions and I scour through the "Watch Instantly" and generally cannot find anything that I like. Edit: And when I go through the "New Releases" section of the regular movies I never see "watch instantly"... and when I go through the "New Releases" section of "Watch Instantly" I never see movies I've heard of... I'm not sure how we can have such a big disconnect there.

Some items in the "New movies to watch instantly": Traitor, JCVD, Narnia:Caspian, Zohan. But at the same time there is also: Batman Returns, The English PAtient and Die Hard. So they seem to be adding from all ends. But if you looka t your instant queue, sometimes it will say "Available until xx/xx/xx" because it's a limited selection.

So for example.
If I go to "Watch Instantly" and click on "New Releases" The first movies listed are: Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Capian Wendy and Lucy Zohan Traitor How About You In Sci-Fi/Fantasy New Releases we've got such new hits as: A Scanner Darkly Serenity The Matrix The Matrix: Reloaded Stargate Continuum If I go to the REAL New Releases I get: Transporter 3 W. Swing Vote Rachel Getting Married Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist On my main page of New Releases where it just has new releases and then some specific category new releases I have ONE movie that has a "Play Now" option - Let the Right One In (whatever that is)...

The more I look the more I realize you're just flat wrong. I'm scrolling through pages of the "Popular New Releases" section and VERY few (i.e. 5 of the first 90) are in "Play Now" and the ones that are are obscure movies (I've never heard of 4 of the previous 5 mentioned).
The Watch Instantly feature is nice, but the selection is pretty limited - particularly with newer movies. I have 84 movies in my queue. 8 of them are available to "Play Now". 7 of those 8 movies are 5+ years old (Letters from Iwo Jima being the exception).

OK.
 I think it's limited with brand new movies, but movies within the last 1.5 to 2 years has a decent selection. I could be wrong, though. I definitely don't see Watch Instantly as a sole method for watching stuff -- it's more supplemental.

To me, they seem to add more new independent movies to Instant than anything. A lot of the more obscure recent indie releases are available on Instant Watch soon after DVD. For example, "Wendy and Lucy" just came out on DVD, and was added immediately to Instant as well. Almost no major releases are done that way that I've seen.

Hmm this is interesting:
Your cost: $0.00 per DVD With Instant Watch: $0.34 You're in the 13th percentile. i.e., 13% of FeedFlixers pay less than you per movie I do watch a ton of Instant Watch stuff on my Roku Player, so I guess that's why it's so low. Last edited by Peregrine : 05-13-2009 at 06:15 AM. |

If you like vampire movies, Let The Right One In is awesome. It is Swedish language with subtitles. Normally I hate subtitles, but this one was no problem. The dialogue is not overwhelming but it is very well paced. It is not an over the top action film. In fact there is not a lot of action scenes. This movie is great.

I think I keep Netflix movies for waaay too long. But I think I use that as part of the service. Being able to see a movie whenever I want without having to go to a video store and getting it and having it available whenever I have time.

Netflix is now streaming:
* Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Seasons 1-7 * Angel: Seasons 1-5 * X-Files: Seasons 1-7 (and two other sets claiming to be eighth and ninth seasons, which can't be since the show stopped after seven. You hear me?!?) * 24: Seasons 1-7 * King of the Hill: Seasons 1-12 * Firefly * Dollhouse: S1 * Arrested Development: S1-3 Article: IndyStar.com | Geeking Out | The Indianapolis Star

Netflix is unbelievably good value for me now that they are streaming so much. The kids watch it all the time on one of our PCs and I am watching the Weeds seasons that I never saw b/c I didn't have Showtime. After I am done with that I'll move to Dexter
We don't even checkout movies all that often. Not when I can stream Big Lebowski or Raising Arizona any time I want.

I really don't watch TV anymore. We don't have cable or dish and aside from news and sports really aren't missing anything. We stream everything on the Roku player. Love it.

Yeah, this is our current setup:
Antenna: To watch HD local television. Roku: Primarily to watch Netflix, Amazon, Revision 3, TWIT and to listen to Pandora. PS3: Using PlayOn to watch Hulu, Video Podcasts, CNN and more recently NCAA basketball streamed live. It keeps our cable bills tremendously low and it is so convenient to watch shows when we want it instead of having to sit by a TV at the designated time that it plays.

Anybody have the Roku HD player? How well does it show the HD aspect? I can't really see myself getting into blue-ray, at least not right now, so I figure a Roku HD player would be more than enough.

Did netflix change how they do new releases? Sherlock Holmes is out, but it is listed as available on April 27th, 2010 in my queue. (??) The Blind Side is also listed as April 20th....

We currently own the HD player and the standard (for the kids' room). It does well with the HD aspect ratio and with Netflix and Amazon the streaming is very smooth.

If one can get Hulu streaming on your TV, could you also get ESPN 360?
