Once again, report it and ask them to move it.

Moved to Recording & Playback (and tweaked Forum description)

Travel? Never thought of that, and its small too.

Yep and it has built in wireless to boot.

Already thought about the hotels that require you to browse to their webpage first. Install the little MACID spoofer on your laptop. Set your laptop to the same MACID as the Roku's wireless one. Connect to the web with the laptop. Do the hotel authorization deal. Unspoof the MACID on your laptop and fire up the Roku.

Or you could just get a crossover patch cable and do ICS on the laptop.

Thanks Don.

Pretty neat idea for the hotel.

The watch now works very well on my Tivo, but the quality is not so hot. The movie selection makes it well worth adding a few titles for a rainy day. Good job to everyone involved.

Is it not so hot compared to other HD media you've tried, including Vudu, PPV, and BD, or is it not so hot coming through the Tivo as opposed to other ways of streaming Netflix, including direct from a PC, Roku, 360, etc.? I'm still debating between adding a Tivo or going the cheaper route with a Roku.

To me its like Vudus SD version, which is not bad. Not so hot meant, not what im used too. For a rainy day flick, its great. I have not heard that there is a PQ difference between the Tivo/Roku/Other versions of Watch now.

This isn't a very good forum for this thread that was primarily about Netflix in addition to the hardware it's running on

Can a Tivo play a Blu-ray?

If I hold the disc real still up against the TiVo, then use a rubber mallet to....

Maybe

I hope that's Netflix SD that's like Vudu's SD. If Netflix HD isn't any better than Vudu SD, then maybe I should reconsider.

 

[gadgtfreek]

I actually have not watched any watch now hd.

to quote the OP

Guess its time to check this Netflix access out.

The hardware is a secondary topic. There are multiple topics in Blu-Ray about Netflix because they rent them. This went hand in hand with those other topics.

Not that i'd expect you to move it back now.

AGREED!!

Well, since I dropped sat I had to download Leverage, Supernatural, Nip Tuck and Damages from Unbox. Was very easy, and PQ thru the TiVo is very good, much better than any SD youd see on normal tv.

The HD on Netflix is pretty good. I do not have BluRay nor do I plan on getting one soon. Maybe when they drop to around a hundred dollars for a player. So it allows me to get my fill on HD movies since I dropped the HBO suite on Dish for Netflix.
