Net Flix Watch Now
Just curious what the NF users are thinking about the new Watch Now that lets you watch 1hr of movie for every $1.00 of your monthly fee. So my fee is $18 and I get 18 hours a month.
Right now they are all old movies and they have a little over 2000.
Quality is not bad depending on the move watching on my computer. Rates are pretty fast with broadband...about a 30 sec wait.
I emailed them to request more options in viewing. I won't use this for the simply fact that I don't watch movies from my computer. That's what the TV is for.
I have a Home Theater Mac hooked up to my TV.
The new service only works with IE and Windows. I think this is an awesome idea though.
What are thoughts.

It's not all old movies. There's some interesting items on there, stuff for kids, and even some exercise videos that my wife has tried out. I wouldn't pay for it, but as an added bonus to an already existing account it's a nice feature.

I have watched a few movies as well with decent quality. I run my laptop through my TV and it looks fine. Obviously, some movies are better quality than others. I have primarily watched some older movies that I didn't want to waste on a rental.

List of Netflix Watch Now movies?
Anyone have a downloadable list of all of the movies that are available through Netflix Watch Now? Browsing through the website is a bore and you can't do a search on simply those titles that are available on Watch Now.

The quality has been fine for me, was happy to see League of Gentlemen (which officially creeps me out, but I wanted to finish the first season) and Welcome to the Dollhouse on there, amongst others.

The girlfriend and I watched a Barry Manilow concert a few weeks ago on a drunken Saturday night. Good, cheesy fun. But that's the only thing I've watched so far.

I've watched several documentaries, several classics, and am working through the original The Outer Limits series.
I don't use it at home, but it's nice to have up on one of my computers at work. They seem to be continually adding newer movies, and movies of better quality. I'm glad they added the feature.

I can't imagine the work day without the internet, I might actually be productive.
