  1. Comment - LG's latest Blu-ray player adds streaming movies from Netflix

    Charter is doing OnDemand HD now as well... I would think it would be more difficult via the web as the bandwidth is limited. Until everyone has Internet 2.0, it might not be possible.

    On another note, just saw an article that Dish is offering 1080p HD programming... sweet!

    I disagree. I'm getting my feed via the web over a 10MB cable modem on my wifi G network using the Netflix engine on IE8 (Vista) and it looks great! Every bit as good as regular digital TV, with no dropouts and excellent 5.1 sound. When I pick a movie, it's up and running in less than 30 seconds.

    To tell the truth, I was shocked it looked that good, maybe it's the digital NR in the Samsung, but I doubt it. You should check your connection dude.

    Movie recommendation from the freebies at Netflix: "The Contract" with Morgan Freeman and John Cusack... it's excellent and I'd never heard of it before.

    I recently purchased a small chassis HP CPU which has a Blu-Ray player in it and a video card that allows me to connect it to my Samsung 61A750 HDTV via HDMI, also has a PVR, for $650. IMHO, this is the way to go, because now I watch anything that will play on the computer via a 61" 1080p monitor... I am in heaven, 2nd best buy I ever made (the 61A750 was the 1st)!
