What do people here think of Netflix anyway?
Personally I find it "passable". The selection of content is ok when I'm bored with regular TV (I watched a few episodes of the original Battlestar Galactica) but it looked like it was ripped from a VHS tape. You would think they would be showing the remastered versions of classic shows at least.
The HD content is better but it is compressed like crazy. TRON LEGACY and STAR TREK for example look and sound boring when compared to HD Satellite, and downright muddy when compared to Blu Ray. Image and colour detail or lost, and the sound, while 5.1, also seems a little less exciting.
Of course the content is streaming over the Internet and the bandwidth is not nearly what you get from Bluray but I guess I was expecting more. The unit I'm using is Apple TV 2nd Generation. Movies streamed from Apple look much better and sound better than Netflix, but of course you pay more.
Anyone else barely satisfied with Netflix?
