Netflix Set top box???

Question

Anyone have any info on the planned Netflix set top box, basically giving customers their whole movie catalog on demand. Any specs on the actual box such as what resolution the movies will be shown in, and what audio options will be availble? I cant even find info on the Netflix website.

Answer 1

While this is speculation, the following is what I guess:

The set top box will not give you your whole movie catalog on demand. If will give you instant access to anything on the netflix site that's available in Watch Instantly i.e., the ones labeled "Play" - currently limited to older movies and lots of TV shows.

So instead of having to watch through your PC, you'll be watching on your TV.

As for specs, no one knows and netflix won't say so until the time comes.
