I have Arrested Development t-shirts, and will gladly buy more. I will still download the episodes, because i want them on my hard drive. I’d rather not stream the episodes and end up with nothing to re-watch 5 years from now.

Part of “translating Windows APIs to Linux” involves the wineserver process which is slow: http://wiki.winehq.org/wineserver If the program is open source, you can run it at native speeds by compiling it against “libwine” but most Windows programs aren’t.

If Netflix uses the current state of HTML5 like YouTube does then it will not be platform dependent. But Netflix is one of the main groups urging the W3C to add support for DRM. The DRM scheme would check for third party plugins which would not be as bloated as Flash but still evil.

Not quite. The Moonlight devs offered to implement DRM, but the studios said “no dice”.

Ol.. expanding into aussie… local media companes have gone out of their way to ensure that its extremely difficult for media companies to set up… quikflix being a pathetic shell, hell even local streaming from tv stations is limited in bizzare ways at the behest of rights holders. To ruin the experience. I can watch tose on my TV wth xbox, ps3, buy a smart tv, but not via airplay on appletv? dafuq

Could you elaborate on this? How is Wine an emulator? I thought it just translated Windows APIs to Linux. Also, how will the conversion to HTML5 be platform dependent? I guess my lack of technical savvy is showing pretty heavily here.

so true like Netflix doesnt have the 1 and only season of john doe, or Malcolm in the middle,or house,big bang theory, young justice, heroes tosh.0, they dont have what I want however I do have the service, and like you I also like to control my media, I think they have limited space and arent planning to upgrade so they see what shows arent being watched as much or movies and then get rid of them kind of a stupid policy, should be at least a 5 year stay for shows on Netflix minimum

well im sure more than my 10 second search will turn up better solutions, I just showed how easy it was without even trying, I dont use linux that often I do have it installed but only beside my main OS (windows 7) last time I used it was when I didnt have the drivers for my wireless adapter and booted into linux to download the windows drivers, before that was to try to get to like linux and it didnt turn out to be fun to use for me, I like being able to use programs to much for me to set up linux as my main OS, just saying dont use an OS to make yourself look better then other pirates, if you wanted to play a game or watch an unsupported media format, or use a program I bet you would have it up and running within a day
