Wii Flix
Yesterday we got in the mail the disk that connects our Wii with Netflix. It lets us stream Netflix's "play now" movies through the game system, which is much nicer than watching them at my computer, which I generally refuse to do.
I had to do some finagling. Since I moved the Wii upstairs, its Internet connection refused to work and I hadn't gotten around to fixing it. The passwords were all correct and the system was finding the signal; it just wouldn't connect. I finally just deleted the connection and started over. Ta da! Access!
Now we can stream a whole mess o' movies and TV shows, including SPARTACUS. I'm glad about the latter. I'd been wanting to watch it, but the Star network won't allow DVRs to record it, for some reason, and I don't watch live TV. No show is =that= important to me--I can wait for the DVD, if I remember or get around to it. But I saw it on Netflix's streaming list. Cool!
This is the future of in-home movie watching.
