Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

The press release says there is now support for profiles across all devices. Can anyone confirm if this applies to the Virgin TiVo?

I've not had HD since the update. Just SD 480. If they don't improve it I'll be digging out the Apple TV again.

Is it a film that you've partly watched before? They pick up where they left off.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

There's a bug I noted on here before where sometimes Netflix starts streaming, then buffers almost immediately and stops at the 25% mark, then when you stop the movie if you choose to resume it picks up in the middle somewhere depending how long you left it buffering. Similar to that? It's still present on the new version.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

Seems some of the larger ISP's in the USA are looking to get fees off Netflix , Netflix have already agreed a deal with Comcast. Could this repeat itself over here ?

If that happens then the monthly fee that many people pay will rise and thus a good reasonable value service will suddenly not be value at all.
