yes. I think (and I could be wrong here) you can have up to 6 devices that you can stream on per account.

We just recently ditched our Dish service and use Netflix. Saved over $600 per year and we are just as happy. We have the two movie option and stream via our Wii.


Of course, that wouldn't work for someone who is into sports.

Yes you can. I've watched on the computer while the kids have watched on TV.

We stream to multiple devices all the time. My daughter on her Macbook and me on my iPad. We've never had an issue. My plan costs $9.62 per month. I am entitled to one actual DVD at home but I almost never use that feature.

My only complaint about Netflix is they don't help you figure out what's new

Netflix offers "New Arrivals" for its Watch Instantly selections and "New Releases" for DVDs/Blu-ray Discs. The problem is that you cannot bookmark them. You have to go to Netflix's website first, and then click on the appropriate links to get to these resources.

OMG, I thought we were going to be in trouble with the streaming option! My family had been watching an enormous amount of shows and movies over the summer and DH wondered if we might be going over our bandwidth limit with Comcast because of it.

So I looked up our usage on Comcast's website and there was no doubt that our usage jumped from nearly nothing to a large figure, but we were still only using half of what we were allowed.

That would be different it you were streaming HD. HD runs over 5 GB per hour, so about 50 hours will go well over the full allotment many broadband service providers, who have bandwidth caps, allocate (and that's assuming you use the Internet for nothing else).

Blockbuster is trying to amp up their online rental program. It's now cheaper than netflix, but really only benefits if there's a store right around the corner. You can exchange at the store or drop it off there and wait for the next one on your list. And you don't pay anything to the store.

Blockbuster is still fighting to get first digs to new releases. I know some companies are making netflix/redbox wait like 30 days before adding it to the line up.

Not that it necessarily means that the service will be interrupted or changed, but Blockbuster has announced to shareholders and creditors that they will enter bankruptcy protection on September 30. Their business model, which ostensibly involved incurring higher costs than Netflix did to provide things to their customers in a manner their customers preferred (i.e., discs available for rental on day of DVD release, instead of 28 days later), has failed.

Actually, it is four devices:

... you may watch instantly on up to four (4) unique PCs and four (4) unique Netflix enabled devices during the course of a calendar year.
