Did a search on it couldnt find anything. So here it goes.
Netflix has this new feature called Instant viewing
"This feature allows Netflix members to instantly watch movies on their PCs. It is included in your monthly membership plan at no additional charge."
BUT, it only works with Win XP or Vista. Firefox isn't supported either you'd have to use IE.
To quote Ellen Feiss "kinda...like... a bummer"
UPDATE: I wrote them an email, asking whether they're planing on making this feature available for mac users (firefox users)
This is their reply:
Thanks for your message.
Thank you for your interest in the new instant viewing feature from Netflix! We are proud to offer an ever-growing selection of movie and television titles that our members may choose to view instantly, rather than having a DVD delivered via mail. All Netflix accounts will have this feature enabled by June of 2007 at no additional charge.
Currently, this content is viewable only through Internet Explorer 6 or above on PCs running Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista operating systems. However, this is only the first step in our instant viewing program. In the months and years to come, we intend to bring the instant viewing experience to a widening array of browsers, operating systems and devices. However, we have no support for specific other operating systems announced at this time.
We welcome any and all suggestions from our members, and will be happy to take your comments into consideration. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us via phone. You may reach us at 1-866-402-2616 between 7am and 11pm Pacific time, seven days a week.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
Thanks,
Kevin
Netflix Customer Service
