I’m intensely disappointed. I dont have the best internet connection so my movies spend more time “retrieving” than playing..and I don’t have the patience for it… If I pause it will it buffer? I doubt it..but if they don’t come up with something I’m cancelling my membership.

Netflix could be the next killer stock. Don’t just watch it, buy NFLX.

well, I never said it optimizes my picture, but it just forces 1080P. As far as the receiver forcing the output, that depends on the model and its features. Do you have a 1080P receiver (it sounds like you do)? Mine is an Onkyo and has a GUI that shows up on the TV through the HDMI port, so it makes it a lot easier,

Usually what you want to do is go through your manual and see if it says anything about passing through the signal as-is or of it has the option to upscale for you.

Now, if you’re talking about it going back to 720P, is it squeezing the picture? In which case, you’ll want to force the TV to output in 16×9. That, too, is dependent on model and brand, so you’ll need to check your TV manual for that. I have a Samsung and on the remote is a “P. Size” button that I can press that will change the aspect ratio.

Basically what you’re going to be dealing with is resolution on the receiver and aspect ratio on the TV. As far as the resolution, here’s Denon’s support site, since they would know a lot more than me since I’m pretty much only familiar with my Onkyo lol:

THere is also a contact page under the support tab as well

I finally got my PS3 disc yesterday and I gave it a run. The activation was straight forward and the playback was great. I didn’t even see a lag between movie selections once the screen came up.

The playback process was a lot smoother than I thought and FF or Rew from the films I watched took a few seconds before it started playing again. The picture quality was good as well. I noticed that there is a bit of a lag in response time when you hit the pause button, which makes sense.

All in all I’m quite happy with the service. For those of you who are experiencing constant buffering on playback, I’m positive it has a lot to do with your connection speed.

I should also mention that my PS3 is connected wirelessly to my router, which are both in the same room, but in the opposite corners of that room.

a lot of people say with PlayOn, it’s hit or miss. Sometimes it works good, other times it doesn’t. As far as the streaming disc goes, that’s all going to depend on connection speed to the PS3 and any firewalls you may have, but it should definitely run better and smoother than what you would get with PlayOn

I just downloaded playon sometime last night, and I have tried accessing netflix and it has to buffer about every 3 seconds…is this something I will have to worry about with the netflix disc?
