Netflix Without the Mailings

Netflix just announced plans to begin dispatching movies straight to televisions through an LG-Electronics-made, Internet-connected set-top box. Netflix distributes most of its content—movies, TV shows and more—the old-fashioned way: through the mail. More than 7 million subscribers take part in one of its many rental plans, sending and receiving DVDs in small square envelopes. Now, thanks to high-speed Internet connections, the company is hoping to quicken the process, and allow customers to rent movies via the Web.

Netflix has already dipped its toes into this arena, but its "Watch Instantly" program hasn't fully caught on, in part because most users had to watch the content on their computers. The LG box will change that, allowing users to watch up to 40 hours of movies and shows per month. The selection isn't as great, but it's still significant. The company's DVD library is 90,000 titles strong, and the online selection currently has more than 6,000 options.

The LG partnership is also just a first step. Netflix plans to sign deals with numerous electronics companies, and transform itself into more of a movie channel than an Internet-age Blockbuster. Will it be the leader in online video rentals? Apple might have something to say about that.—Gregory Mone

OR you can just buy an adapter cord that allows you to use your tv as the monitor.

Isn't that called "On Demand"? Which comes with most cable packages anyway.

Just another way to add another box to our array of devices stacked up by the TV and take more $$ out of our wallets.

I thought it was "On Demand" also

Hi people,
Well netflix provides lots of services but I hate the mailing process because it used to take lots of time. Now I think that this TV streaming is really very nice.

Netflix has really ended the physical renting of movies. The picture quality is simply at its best.

[Acai Berry]

Impressive part of Netflix is its endless list of Movies. The Quality is uncommentable..

Alright, But the studio has, over the last few months, been seeking both a new writer and a new director for "Mouse," with a number of up-and-comers on the list. We''ll keep you posted when they're hired, but the very fact of development momentum is noteworthy. Paramount has had success distributing DreamWorks Animation's films – the studio currently has the hit "How to Train Your Dragon" out in theaters -- but also has made the most of its few forays into animation production. "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie," a Paramount/Nick collaboration, earned $140 million worldwide back in 2004 (and that was long before the 3-D and hybrid live/animation crazes hit full bore, which could give a jolt to this one if the studio went that way).

I was wondering when Netflix was going to upgrade to a system like this. It should save them a lot of money in the long run. I hope they are able to make it work. I wonder if they are charging a monthly fee for their set top box, or just charging per movie?

Thank you so much Tim. I really do appreciate your feedback. I'm still struggling with the technology but I wish everyone all luck with this competition. I've been pinned down with a sick grandchild and today a very sick daughter - both with gastric flu which afflicts us all at this time of year - so this is the first moment I've had to get to the computer.

[Thé Cho Yung]
