No captions. <br />No choice of audio language.<br />Stutters on the older laptops, not so bad on the newer ones.<br /><br />In the US Netflix can also deliver to WII, XBox and PlayStation as well as a handful of internet capable DVR's, DVD players., bluray players and TV's. Some of these units can get other music and video services too.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11434318898333768620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-56876323141166783892010-04-22T15:04:05.869+00:002010-04-22T15:04:05.869+00:00Some days it's been easy for me, but others th...Some days it's been easy for me, but others there's been tons of spam on it, or it's taken hours and hours and hours just to get one audiobook.Eolake Stobblehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07126147415891586345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-63366487803808350002010-04-22T14:43:37.876+00:002010-04-22T14:43:37.876+00:00Torrent is a nightmare to use, and not legal.

There are a few local (Italian) who are trying but their catalogue is slim at best, no recent movies, and they generally complain that it is a mess to try to secure the rights.<br /><br />Europe will wake up when it is too late.<br /><br />On brighter news, I just saw a TV ad for a Sony "Internet TV" which is supposed to stream content from youtube and others. So if they are trying to sell this, they must know that content is coming, I think.Ganesha Gameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08786129871831624809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-10304637114432165012010-04-22T14:04:42.478+00:002010-04-22T14:04:42.478+00:00No, those are good points, which needs solutions. ...No, those are good points, which needs solutions. <br /><br />Apple can stream me movies in viewing speed!
