    I could do without them adjusting video quality in the middle of the playback...

    Your internet Connection has slowed. We are adjusting playback to avoid further interruption.

    I'm like, well you just stopped it on me for 4 minutes, doesn't even take that long to load in the first place...wth

    Andy-

    You have to download the netflix movie viewer software to start.
    This option usually comes up when you try to watch but don't have it. You only download this once.
    In internet explorer, all I do is click on the "browse instant" tab. Then click on the "genre" tab.
    This will give you pages and pages of "watch instantly" movies.
    I then click on "play" and netflix checks my internet speed.
    A few seconds later a window pops up and asks "are you sure you want to open the web page?" Click "Yes".
    A second window pops up with "play" and "cancel" ...click play and the movie starts.

    No, keep you queue just as it is. They will continue to send you discs, but you also get to watch online.

    Okay, so do you download it to your harddrive, or what? I'm still trying to figure out how this whole thing goes down. Do I need to stop putting movies in my queue so they will stop shipping them out and then try out a instant one?

    I, too, only have 1 at a time unlimited.

    Are these streaming videos, or actual downloads? Just want to know if I could download one to my laptop and watch it on the plane...

    No.
    And depending on your connection speed, mine is nowhere near as good as standard dvd. I think you would have to have at least 3mbps or better to approach dvd quality.

    "1 at at time unlimited" actually does make sense. They have a plan that limits the number of movies you can get in one month. The "1 at a time unlimited" means you can only have one movie at a time, but you can send that back and get another as many times as you can cram into a month.

    We just signed up, got the two weeks free offer. We went with the $16.99 "3 at a time unlimited" plan.

    The downloaded movies work pretty well. We've had no issues with interuptions, but the quality isn't always great.

    We need to get a little more systematic about scheduling - that is the only bummer with Netflix. We didn't get our movies in the mail on Wed, so we don't have new movies for this weekend.

    ...this is highly addictive.
    I watched 3 online movies last night, none of which I had ever even heard of. Finally as the 3rd film was finishing I forced my mouse to close down the window.
    Otherwise I might have stayed up all night.

    My wireless Sprint connection gives me 500-700 kbps average and the movies look kind of crappy.

    On a small computer screen it's OK but when I hook up my HD TV it looks bad.

    Still OK when I'm bored. Like to watch Anime flicks.
