The most believable numbers I've found are 1.5Mbps for SD, 3Mbps for DVD quality, 5Mbps for HD quality and 8+ for 1080 on PS3. I don't see Netflix offering official numbers, but playing with Speedtest.net and testing by adding bandwidth eaters like VPN connections until I saw the quality degrade.
While I couldn't find any hard numbers on Netflix's site, it seems the consensus is that as long as you have a decent DSL connection 1.5 Mbs, you should be able to stream successfully (there might be a decent amount of buffering though).Source
I do not personally have Netflix, but my aunt does (the standard definition version through a Wii) and she has no problem watching movies with connection speed that hovers between 700 Kbps and 900 Kbps (tested at Speakeasy.net). I was actually surprised that video playback didn't lag with speeds that low, but there it is.
We have a 1.5/10 Mb connection and see neflix eat as much bandwith as it can get. Not uncommon for it to be using 9mb on HD programs over our xbox 360. However if there is anyother machines online it will kick back to less and change the quality of the stream...
This is Neil Hunt, Chief Product Officer, to tell our members in Canada that starting today, watching movies and TV shows streaming from Netflix will use 2/3 less data on average, with minimal impact to video quality.
I ran the Activity Monitor app on my MacBook Pro while simultaneously streaming Netflix on 4 devices on my home wifi (my MacBook Pro, an iPhone 5, an iPhone 4 and a smart TV upstairs). The total data rate never got higher than 709 kbps (less than 1 Mbps) and on average it stayed around 200-300 kbps. All devices were streaming flawlessly. I even called Comcast on my VOIP phone and the bandwidth usage stayed the same.
To my knowledge, the Activity Monitor shows bandwidth used by the wifi network as a whole (which was what I was interested in), not the individual devices. You see, I am using Comcast "High-speed Internet." How fast is that? They don't say, but apparently I am also getting their Blast service which gives me "up to" 50 Mbps. Wow, right? Except why do I need that kind of speed? Or more to the point: why do I need to PAY for that speed? Or even more to the point: do I ever actually get that speed? I'm not a gamer, though I wonder if I was, would I still need that kind of bandwidth?
xbox is connected and able to download covers from unity. not sure why it doesnt work for me. turned fakelive off and it tells me i need xbox live gold to use netflix. also keeps prompting me to update before sign in to live. i think ill turn fakelive on again and wait til for help/info.
i dont mind if anyone uses it, customizes it or even uses parts of it to make a new one. i threw it together with images from google and took about an hour or so to get it how i thought looked nice. the easiest way to manually install new artwork is using aurora asset editor. sometimes it takes a few tries to ftp your database but when it loads, find app, right click get front art, drag pic to program, go back to ftp tab and right click for save all artwork. go back to 360 and restart aurora. artwork should display. u can also add backgrounds etc if you like while using editor.
apparently it works already for some long time. I wish youtube was working. Fake live does not help caused by network error caused by the live blocks. I think all the other apps are patchable but i dont know if its possible. The trainer builders or HEX Editors may know what to do and maybe a Dev Kit would help.
found the title update enclosed with the download. cheers! also my main folder (3000blah) was inside a main folder (3000blah) so i took it out of the folder so the heirachy is one less folder too. and i put it on the flash drive instead of hard drive (still on hard drive though) but mostly I copied the titleupdate to my cache folder inside hdd and then started netflix (without installing update on accident) but it worked. going to install the update corretly to avoid problems.
idea? wonder how difficult it would be for developer to clone netflix or use their files as a blueprint to get other streaming services (homebrew app) to work, i was thinking of popcorn time which is basically like netflix but it uses torrents, so yeah that sounds difficult as f...
personally, if i ever use my 360 for media its usually just a quick movie (dont want to use it too much for non gaming when i have so many other ways to use my media) i do enjoy the built in streaming using the stock video player though. streams from my hds connected to my pcs. my collection is more than netflix, but netflix is all new content too. i prefer the older stuff but the kids will love netflix, too bad ill make them watch on chromecast or pc or phone or netbook or tablet or laptop or psp (not sure if my modpsp can dont think so, got a new 1 month ago been years since i had one, side note get urself a 3ds also, both of those and a phone/netbook and your covered) but yeah im a collector and this looks beautiful inside auroras cover flow.
Perfect.
I tested it and it is fully functional, but on first use a connection failure problem similar to xbox-live errors occurs.
Already on the second attempt, the connection occurred perfectly!!
I bet they could, I doubt they will. Each one of those apps are different. You would be better off attempting to make trainers, that will skip the live checks, and releasing them for each app, and each update to each app. You can apply the trainer from aurora. Might make sense to add an autoload for trainers to the trainer menu, if you were going to do something like that though. The beauty of that is that anyone can make a trainer, and there are some videos, and other information on it out there.
I honestly doubt it is a custom patch with the tu mate.. i tried before when the paywall 1st dropped.. netflix didnt work.. but.. on the other hand.. on retail xbox, netflix will work without a profile.. as my gf cant figure out her pass.. so.. cant sign in profile no more.. so this is actually what might have it working..
Hex editing the program would be easier as you find offsets with ida that are different from the offsets trainers will use.. this is easily found out when you compare offsets for rte's people put out on other forums.. but the offsets are different when in game.. if you can catch what im saying
hmmm, i think microsoft already fixed this mistake... Not working anymore for me too... I think they patched it... How to proceed? Maybe just a new app official update can solve this... Lets wait... Must have a solution!
From MSFT's side, I think it's more about adding value to their already excellent Xbox Live Gold service, and if they attract more customers to subscribe to Gold because of the features they're adding, great.
On the other hand, I've been a cord cutter for years. Why pay for a ton of content I don't care about when I can get most of the content I want for free? The rest of the content I want can either be watched via my quite cheap streaming-only Netflix account or by purchasing DVDs.
This Verizon FiOS deal doesn't do much for me. It's much the same as the Hulu deal with MSFT where you can only access the Hulu content on XBL Gold if you subscribe to Hulu Plus (which I have no reason or desire to do). Because the cable companies refuse to change, they're becoming irrelevant.
Yeah, well, it might not do a lot of that. I picked up an xbox at a garage sale with the intention of using it solely for streaming netflix. I didn't know that you had to subscribe to MS's service to be able to do that. It angered me, as Netflix doesn't (or shouldn't) actually use the xbox live service, doesn't add any value to the netflix service, almost doubles the cost of the service, and I'd get to give yet more money to Microsoft in exchange for exactly nothing.
The xbox went to the goodwill, and I've warned a few other people who were thinking of doing the same thing to avoid using the xbox for it. If Microsoft was a little less greedy, they may have actually sold me some games and made some money from me, instead of leaving a bad taste in my mouth.
I think you vastly underestimate how much you'd pay on an a la carte basis for the niche channels you list. AMC Networks has operating expenses of about $750 million. They obviously get revenue from ad sales, but the bulk of their revenue comes from cable operators. If instead of receiving payments from the 96 million US households that get AMC programming, they had to be paid by the households that actually want AMC programming (their highest-rated program, The Walking Dead, drew 6.6 million viewers Sunday night), the costs would be very high.
