I currently use my XBox 360 as a standard DVD player, and every now and then it freezes and I get disc read errors. If I pop it into my Mac and run DVD Player, I have no problems. I thought these formats all had error correcting codes? I remember early articles for CDs boasting about the RE error correction system and how discs would work if they got scratched. The reality is you get pops and freezes wit the slightest blemishes.<BR/><BR/>And it *should* work better. I do error correction systems for wireless communication links. We did a system with multiple channels (one high speed data stream was divided into many channels to process at a slower clock rate) where you could lose an entire channel, but completely reconstruct it from the error correction information spread across the other channels.<BR/><BR/>And this is two guys in an underfunded lab.

You know what? YOU ARE receiving the same service as US Netflix members. We can't report something as lost for several days, either. Not Netflix's fault that you chose to sign up while living in Egypt. Why should you be able to monopolize more discs just because YOU CHOSE a career that takes you oversees? How about just being glad that they ship to APO addresses at all? How is Netflix supposed to be able to tell the difference between honest customers and people gaming the system. Just because someone has an APO address doesn't automatically make them a good person. What do people there without Netflix subscriptions do? Find out and try that. Or better yet, coordinate with other Netflixers with similar taste, share movies, and see if you can coordinate something to improve your situation.

I would be a lot more interested to see progress on a PS3 version of the Netflix streaming app. (Although I understand that is unlikely as they want to build their own streaming store.)<BR/><BR/>Interesting note about PS3s. Any chance you guys can swing your weight to help make them add a "Never Connect" preferences for their BluRay preferences? Right now the options are "Always Connect" or "Ask me if you can invade my privacy every time", so I don't do BluRay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765056849626104020.post-68040313764604080962008-09-16T10:08:00.000-07:002008-09-16T10:08:00.000-07:00<A HREF="http://sex-oral-anal.150m.com/porno-pictures.html" REL="nofollow">porno pictures</A><BR/><A HREF="http://sex-oral-anal.150m.com/sex-oral.html" REL="nofollow">sex oral</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765056849626104020.post-49180830446645183962008-09-16T06:55:00.000-07:002008-09-16T06:55:00.000-07:00Dear Netflix,<BR/><BR/>Mail service to APO customers is a continuing problem, made worse by the fact that we cannot take advantage of the Instant Viewing<BR/>option, even though we are American citizens serving overseas. Would like to strongly suggest that you allow APO customers to report the discs are in the mail, as soon as they mail them, so that the next disc can be on it's way. The way you have the 'Report Trouble' feature set right now on the website, we cannot report the movie as mailed until 6-7 days AFTER we've mailed it. This makes the turnaround time 15-20 days for us to receive a movie. Come on! We are honest, paying customers, and would like to have the same service as our fellow citizens in the States.<BR/><BR/>If we had the option of reporting the movie 'mailed' (or lost, if you prefer that verbiage), as soon as we mailed it, this would enable us to receive movies in a more timely fashion. As it stands, we're paying $17 a month, and averaging only about 3-4 movies a month, about $5 per movie.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/><BR/>Lisa Wolfe<BR/>US Embassy CairoLisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765056849626104020.post-30713023414359488292008-09-15T19:20:00.000-07:002008-09-15T19:20:00.000-07:00I don't think this is the right place to post this, but is anyone else having trouble with "Watch Instantly" if you are running IE 8? <BR/>We have watched several movies.

I'm a paying customer.<BR/><BR/>A few things. <BR/><BR/>I've recently discovered the damaged blu-ray problem you've been having for about a year. Good stuff.<BR/><BR/>So this is where I ask: Why not concentrate on developing and executing sturdier mailers rather than pushing a technology that you obviously have incredible amounts of issues with?<BR/><BR/>Over the past 3 1/2 weeks, on the 3 at a time plan, I've received about 8 damaged blu-ray discs. Each has an identical crack in the corner of the disc. I received 2 that weren't damaged.<BR/><BR/>Each representative blamed either the studios for creating a great scratch-resistant-but-more-prone-to-cracks disc, or the postal service.<BR/><BR/>So here's my problem. Why, oh why, haven't you addressed this widespread problem in this blog dedicated to screw ups? (And marketing).<BR/><BR/>And most importantly: Why haven't you implemented a sturdier mailer that won't allow for damage?<BR/><BR/>Stop blaming people/situations/acts of God. Just fix the problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765056849626104020.post-1670063960539910252008-09-13T20:00:00.000-07:002008-09-13T20:00:00.000-07:00Wow.

The real test will be to put it under real world conditions (meaning, not in a demo booth) where thousands of people will attempt to download the same movie at the same time. Aside from the server issues alone, I think the technologies going to have a lot of practical limitations. Early adopters be ware, you may end up paying a pretty penny for a mound of frustrations.<BR/><BR/>Not to mention who will provide technical support, LG or Netflix? But thats a whole other issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765056849626104020.post-85052413487682450212008-09-13T12:26:00.000-07:002008-09-13T12:26:00.000-07:00Not to mention that Comcast will soon be putting a cap of 250 gigabytes/month on their Broadband accounts.

I think the post office sorting machines are pretty much guaranteeing that most Blue Ray disks won't work after shipment. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth gambling with them and sending them back and forth.<BR/><BR/>Streaming movies would be great, but how realistic is this, I'm thinking you'll have to have the most expensive high end badwidth internet connection in order to handle of the data that would be in the stream for a true blue ray quality video.<BR/><BR/>Are the movies predownloaded by the system prior to play? Otherwise the buffer waits must be tremendous right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765056849626104020.post-27709850224028430682008-09-12T10:16:00.000-07:002008-09-12T10:16:00.000-07:00I was very interested in getting this device, but in truth, I have no further desire to deal with physical media– so the Roku it is, and I've loved it for the past month.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to seeing the Instant Watch grow and develop!Brady J.
