Re: NetFlix "Watch Now / Watch Instantly" - Recommendations Thread
Is there a way to see ALL of the movies/tv shows that are available to stream in HD? I know theres a tab on the site but that doesnt list everything thats available.

A lot of people would like this feature, but for technical reasons, Netflix isn't making this possible yet. See http://developer.netflix.com/forum/r...#comment-55292 for more information.

If you want to check out a particularly infamous movie, Caligula is on Watch Instantly now (and it apparently is the 156-minute unrated version).

No HD listing, but it lets me plan ahead.

Not sure if this was asked before - but when streaming HD content, is the audio only 2 channel? Just got the Netflix disc, so I'm still getting used to it.

So I saw that they added Torchwood: Children of Earth. I watched Part 1 and then find out that they don't have Part 2 available for streaming but they have parts 3, 4 and 5. What's up with that?!!!

Some title I've watched last couple of months:
Cocaine Cowboys 1 & 2 (previously recommended) Great documentary!
The King of Kong
2 Days in Paris
I Want Candy

That sucks. I don't know why their streaming licensing sometimes skips episodes of series. It seems like it would all be a package deal (except when it's just a Pilot).

Big Fan (HD) (OAR) since this shot with HD Red One camera this is exceedingly sharp and detailed
Horror of Dracula (HD) the hidef really made the colors and image 'pop'
24 City (HD) beautiful cinematography complimented by it's sublime hidef presentation
Ma Vie en Rose (full screen 4:3) very good film, but it's the first film I've "instant watched" which looked quite frankly hideous - cropped and out of focus
I'm glad they have Starz' Spartacus series, since watching via Netflix frees up limited space on my DVR
Horror of Dracula (HD) the hidef really made the colors and image 'pop'
24 City (HD) beautiful cinematography complimented by it's sublime hidef presentation

^ of the few I've seen yes they are OAR
I hope Netflix can secure the hidef films that the now defunct satellite channel MonstersHD broadcast.

That's good. I've been meaning to watch something through Netflix streaming, but it seems like I always have a stack of Blu-ray Discs or DVDs. Big Fan is actually one I wanted to see though, and it didn't get a Blu-ray release. I might try that one this weekend.

If they're HD they may be OAR, but I've seen some non-OAR transfers of SD movies. I don't think my connection is fast enough to even get HD.

I'm fairly certain the 3 Mbps speed is for max SD quality.
