So Dave, you had a few days to play with the NXE. Anything of interest that’s not on the list?

dalfry, anyone with an unlimited Netflix DVD rental subscription is entitled to unlimited online streaming. For the Xbox version, you’ll also need Xbox Liv ewhich is maybe $50 a year. The Roku player, Blu-ray players, and web are free. I think my Netflix plan is about $12/mo.

Of course HDCP is only required when using HDMI, this isn’t a Vudu box afterall

Thanks for the video – you make us Canadians jealous. We’ll likely never see this – or at least not for 5 years or so. Grrr!!!!

From reading Gizmodo, it appears that HD streaming requires 8 meg pipe (for the highest tier, I presume). And it seems that for reasons shrouded in mystery, Netflix still refuses to allow longer buffering so more people could get top tier of quality. Why???

i am hoping HDCP doesnt become an issue when netflix lands on my tivo. i have it connected to a 3 y/o samsung dlp via hdmi. hopefully it can handle the handshake, because it sure sounds like netflix is pushing this.
