Quick question with Netflix HD - Is the sound streamed in 5.1?

I don't think so... I'm pretty sure it's just 2.1 stereo.

There is no 5.1 Dolby Digital. It is only stero. :(

I'd be happy to wait a minute or two for buffering to allow for streaming a higher quality image coupled with DD5.1.

I have a fairly decent home theater setup so I'll just stick with blu-ray and standard DVD until the streams get a little better.

The quality is DVD or slightly below, depending on time of day for me (sometimes I drop down to 2 bars, later at night it's back up to 4).

I'm happy with the service. I would like more selection but that will come in time. I don't need an HD feed if I'm watching something over the internet. Chances are, I'm not watching it for the "wow" factor at that point. I just want to see it. If I cared that much about it, I'd go buy a BD player and rent the disc.

They are currently working on a solution to stream 5.1 etc.

I output it to the fake 5.1 with my home theartre system and for the most part it work just fine especially watching TV series. I think it's silly to not used it because you can't get 5.1 on it.

I have catch up on so many movies and TV show that I would other wise would not have rent or let alone bought.

I wonder if MS is worry that Netflix is going to cut into game playing times on the 360 ...

I've been getting pretty clear quality with 4 bars. Even thought I have a good connection I pause the video right after it starts for about 30 seconds just to account for any momentary lapses. I don't like it when it runs through it's buffer and drops to a lower quality stream. I really love it for old TV shows and movies that I'm not sure I'd want to wait for by mail.

I give this thread a 9.3.

Nope lovein the Netflix on streaming on my 61', movies look great.

Wish there was more HD vids, but i'm sure many will come.
