As the previous poster stated the obvious, the radio still works. Keep some fresh batteries and a radio in the closet for emergencies.

I'm guessing since practically everything will be streaming Netflix including toilets, they had to increase the number of registered devices. Everything from TV's to toasters now stream Netflix which is just incredible. Now I can add all the ipod touches my family owns and a few other devices cause we were maxed at 6.

Have you Experienced a Lost Netflix DVD Recently?

No way in hell Netflix is even remotely responsible! PS3 users could have used the computer like the rest of the world.
Sony's PlaySation Network Back Online - Netflix Working for You Now?
The PlayStation Network is back online after being hacked, and while Sony is offering some goodies to PS3 customers, NewTeeVee reports that Netflix isn't offering a credit (to be fair it was Sony's problem). Hulu is offering a credit for the outage, but do you think Netflix should credit users i...

I haven't seen this. Is it an app that users rent from? I'm not seeing movies in market.
Google Offers Mobile Movies For Rental on Android Marketplace
While I was surprised not to see a Netflix for Android App announcement during the Google IO keynote, I wasn't surprised to see movie rentals added to the Android Market (especially after the YouTube announcement). Rentals are $1.99 to $3.99, and have the usual 30 day rental period and 24 hou...
I got throttled for dvds but never for streaming. I was home for three months during Christmas time and cranked out over 40 hrs per week of streaming with no problem. When I first got a netflix device I had network hiccups but once I upgraded to wideband service I've never had an issue since.

Terminator, chronicles of Sarah Connor.
Should Netflix Save Cancelled or Endangered Shows?
MG Siegler from TechCrunch thinks Netflix could save cancelled or endangered TV shows, and uses the much-loved show Firefly as an example as to how this could work: You’ll note that many cult hits are often science fiction shows, which are also often the most DVR’d shows on television. This als...
Give me a break! It's a paid service. If the service does not offer captions then don't pay for it, instead opt for general stations that you can get for free with a good antenna. Netflix is just getting huge so its seem natural for the greedy to go after them.

How to Log Into Netflix on Windows 98
Reader ThatTherePaul found a way to log into Netflix website on Windows 98: I have an ancient Windows 98 computer at home (the laughingstock of my office), and I wasn't able to log in to Netflix's new member log in page. Even though I had no trouble with any other Internet resources, including...
I could careless! I rather pick up a flick at Redbox if I want it that bad otherwise I wait on Netflix. Besides I rather watch on my big screen TV than my computer screen and no I don't want to connect my laptop to TV just for a single, occasional, movie.
Will Facebook Movie Rentals Compete with Netflix?
Netflix stock took another hit when Warner announced that they would be renting films on Facebook for $3 or 30 credits. The rentals must be watched within 48 hours of renting, so they're more of a VOD offering than direct competitor with Netflix. The first title is The Dark Knight, but they prom...
I think Jeff is correct. I also read somewhere that only never snap dragon processors will work with netflix as the one coming loaded in the HTC Thunderbolt coming soon. Which sucks cause I love my Droid Incredible.
