I don't think there is a limit.

Roku in living room, Wii in kids room, and I stream to my Iphone and laptop.

The correct answer is 6.

You may watch instantly on up to 6 unique devices: Including personal computers and Netflix ready devices. You may also use this page to manually de-register devices you no longer wish to use for watching instantly. A deactivated device can be reactivated later if you wish to resume using it.


That is pulled from the Netflix site.

There are many new movies on there. It has improved greatly in the last year or so.

+1 Out of 100 movies in my queue only 5 can be streamed. Works great for the kids though.

It is actually very good for TV shows and I think you are selling it short for movies as there are allot of good movies on there just not many big hits.

I think 10 years is probably a stretch. True there aren't enough movies available for streaming, but, if there is something that you or your SO has always wanted to see, it comes in handy. Definitely helps you get your money's worth out of the deal.

I am mainly using mine to watch TV series right now. I think it's great for that.

I don't know but I have my neighbors PS3.
My brothers PS3.
My Xbox, Iphone, PC and laptop on it.


Also at the last shareholders meeting netflix anouced they were going to make streaming the focus of the company and spend more money on online rights to movies, and less on purchasing DVDs.

I don't know how strictly they enforce that, though.

I stream on my PS3, my home PC, two different work PCs, sometimes on friends' PCs, my girlfriend's PC, and the other day my girlfriend was watching with my account on her mom's laptop at home.

I've logged onto my account from at least 8 devices.

Everyone, just ignore this guy and his comment. There are plenty of good Movies, Tv Shows, and Documentaries to watch. And the 10 year old comment is just retarded. In the last 6 months alone they have had Lost, Dexter, Battlestar Galactica, and Psych available for streaming. Just to name a few.

I tried watching a movie on my laptop last night and it said I had a movie playing from two devices and that I had to close one of them to watch on mine. So you can watch on 2 devices at the same.
