Actually, DPS is one of my all-time favorite movies & made my American Transcendentalists class a breeze. The red-headed guy (the character’s name was Cameron) was in my major in college, so we had some classes together — AND he had a guest appearance on “House” during season 2.

Sac-Eats might have some Netflix tips since we’re on a Mac here at home, use Firefox, and it seems to work just fine — unless you guys are talking about some fancy computer stuff about which I know nothing.

You can blame my husband for Close Encounters.

I’ve used this service a few times over the past several months now. I connect the laptop to my TV with the S-video connection, and use a separate cable to run the sound into the stereo. The first time was a pain, but now it’s pretty smooth.

Netflix does not have the bugs sorted out though. The video streams really choppy at times. It’s subtle, and only shows when there’s something like a river flowing in the shot. But it drives me crazy enough to turn it off.

I don’t know why they even use a browser for viewing. It should run as a separate application. That would fix a lot of issues instantly.

i wish they supported firefox.

Ewwwww!!! I ordered 3; they sent me 1, and that was a week after I subscribed. After cancelling my subscription (luckily during the free trial period) they claimed that the 12 movies in my “queue” weren’t enough and that they only had one in stock at the time of the order. These were NOT obscure art film movies… not even “French Kiss.” Also, you can only return “in-store” 2x a month.

Haven’t tried the “online viewing” option yet, but that would require me to re-hook up my speakers that don’t seem to be working correctly.

Still, not to defend Netflix as all that is good and holy (it ain’t) but it’s still better than shlepping to the video store, or enrolling in Blockbuster’s competitive service…..

Of course, those of us with Macs pay the same as those with PCs - a class of users who has far more rights / access to the service - but I’m not holding my breath waiting for a discount.
