Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! It’s just little ol’ Netflix, doing it’s little streaming video thing. Nothing to see here, move along, move along.

So you're saying it's only the position of the majority of the market ... and not the vocal few who care about picture quality?alice wrote:Their position only shows the purchasing

Anyone who actually cares about
Picture Quality is unlikely to be
watching Netflix
So what's your argument again?
Don't get me wrong, I care about picture quality (or I wouldn't be here). But I am also a Netflix streaming subscriber ... mostly for my kids. I don't watch many movies via Netflix streaming, but I watch a number of the various TV Series they have available.

Here, you are incorrect. Technically speaking, Netflix is capable of delivering HD resolution (both streaming as well as Blu-ray discs).alice wrote:Netflix certainly should not be getting much attention

I, for one, hope they (HDTV Magazine) continue to report on "internet HD video" ... I think it's a fine fit.
