I heard that they are working on a settop box that you’ll be able to purchase which will stream movies from their servers, so they are definitely working on extending their online video distribution in the future.

And yes, the selection sucks (the reason here is the lack of support from movie studios who are concerned with piracy). The quality of the video and sound are greats as is the download speed. Movies start to play in about 10 seconds. The biggest reason to join Netflix isn't the "Watch Now" feature. Watch Now is just an added bonus for users and provides Netflix with some experience it needs before rolling out a massive online video distribution system, which I believe will happen soon.

That should have been offered from Day 1! :evil: No Mac or Firefox support is a disgrace at this point. That should have been offered from Day 1! :evil:
