Netflix WTF?
« on: March 22, 2011, 08:17:30 pm »
Wanted to downstream some entertainment. This message is what I get: We’re sorry, the Netflix website and the ability to instantly watch movies are both temporarily unavailable.

?!?!?! Never had that happen before. Anyone else?

They must be seriously hurting.  The message says streaming devices still work, but Xbox wont connect so I doubt thats true.

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

I've been watching "The League" just fine.  The streaming's slow, but it's running.

UPDATE: Streaming is back on the website. We're still working on getting streaming back to all devices. Thanks for your patience!

Showtime is pulling shows like Dexter and Californication off from Netflix's watch instantly offerings. Probably just a matter of time before you can subscribe directly to Showtime to view their shows online without having to pay a third party to deliver the content.

Showtime needs to put together a Shameless highlight reel, involving nothing but Emmy Rossum's boobs.

HBO apparently now has a streaming service for subscribers with tons of old shows and movies, but TWC does not yet offer it. Furk.
