By the way, it's not service provider causing the problem. Comcast at home, random providers in hotels, even a VPN to work and back to Netflix from Canada, on all types of computers too, laptop, desktop, slow computer / fast computer (quad core, X260 219core video card)... all do the exact same thing.

There is something about the PC connection versus TiVO. ]]>Mar 16th 2009 8:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/is-netflix-putting-caps-on-computer-based-watch-instantly-users/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/is-netflix-putting-caps-on-computer-based-watch-instantly-users/Mar 16th 2009 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/is-netflix-putting-caps-on-computer-based-watch-instantly-users/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/is-netflix-putting-caps-on-computer-based-watch-instantly-users/Mar 16th 2009 8:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/is-netflix-putting-caps-on-computer-based-watch-instantly-users/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/is-netflix-putting-caps-on-computer-based-watch-instantly-users/
Good tip:
if you are frequently getting downgrade when watching stuff, pause right away, do someting for 15 minutes then come back and hopefully it is cued up enough to not stop.]]>Mar 16th 2009 8:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/is-netflix-putting-caps-on-computer-based-watch-instantly-users/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/is-netflix-putting-caps-on-computer-based-watch-instantly-users/
This seems to be jumping the gun a bit and I feel is a bit irresponsible journalism. Would like a bit more proof.

By the way, I use the same set up and while my 360 buffers quickly, so does my PC. And I watch alot over my 360.]]>Mar 16th 2009 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/is-netflix-putting-caps-on-computer-based-watch-instantly-users/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/16/is-netflix-putting-caps-on-computer-based-watch-instantly-users/I guess when you put a question mark at the end of a title, even with a huge Netflix logo as part of the story, you can say just about anything.

I'll repeat, I'VE NEVER HAD STREAMING PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS WITH NETFLIX
