The wife was hogging the HDTV last night when I got home (grumble, grumble - yes I know Gil. ) anyway since I didn’t have access to the DVR from the computer (I am working on that BTW - Slingbox would have worked here but the XYL was ahem hogging the DVR but I digress..) I thought this would be a good time to try a download on Netflix. Well it did work with no visible burps or streaming problems. It did however require IE 6. Firefox would not work. I happened to have already installed IE 7 some time ago and that worked ok. Basically it downloads this .msi installer. You run this and then apply an update to Windows Media Player and lo and behold your video begins streaming pretty quickly inside of IE. Now the selection is a different story. I first choose Sci Fi as a category and it was uncanny almost everything listed I had not only seen before but had already rated! So right off the selection was not that spectacular. I had wanted to see Minority Report again for some reason but that was not available for download. Bummer! Well we are not off to a great start here. I then decided to cruise based on ratings. And once again almost everything with four stars I had already seen so I kept going down the list by ratings until I hit something I hadn’t seen before (and that I actually would want to see) and I fell upon Dead Like Me. I had heard Glenn Beck rave about this series before so I gave it a whirl. As to my review of the show I will post that later on my entertainment blog eiga.kevininscoe.com.
