I would try sidereel.com, they have links to every episode of Entourage. Other than something like that, your best bet would be torrents.

Do you think that will ever happen. Production companies make a fortune on movies in the theaters. I could see them releasing them to on-demand/hbo/netflix/whatever a lot sooner than they do now. But I dont see them taking the box office hit of opening weekends/month.

I used to have dsl and HD did not work. I now have roadrunners fastest speed and it works great.

Or a WDTV Live Plus or any other media player like that. I use a WDTV Live Plus to stream. It also plays all my .iso files that I rip.

I switched from AT&T to TW and was able to view HD 99% of the time compared to 5% of the time.

It will be in HD as long as the video is offered in HD on Netflix streaming.

That's not true at all. Xbox had Netflix more than a year before PS3 or Wii did and had it without a disc required while they still did.

The 360 was actually the first box to be able to stream Netflix in HD.

FYI you aren't getting grandfathered in with old pricing. Just got the email about my new rates a little bit ago.

What do you use to rip them??

This. For me, the best thing going for their online streaming is they have all 6 seasons of 'The Office' available -- other than that, I haven't watched a whole lot. There's a lot of older stuff and movies no one has heard of. My biggest interest in these movie services is I want to be able to watch the new releases the day or week they come out -- this 28 day wait is bullshit. Then the TV shows I actually do want to watch (Modern Family and Eastbound and Down) have very long waits for season one.

Online library sucks at this point. I started with the free trail through PS3 and I got instant watch only. I quickly realized that was no good, so I upgraded to 1 DVD at a time with Blu Ray. I don't have a lot of time for movies so one at a time is fine.
