If both my Tivo and my Blu-Ray player can do Netflix streaming, is there any benefit to one over the other? - TFox Apr 12, 13:28 12
- Absolutely. My Roku netflix is much better (faster/cleaner) than the implementation on my Bluray and much easier to start using than the Wii -- nm - oblique Apr 12, 13:50
- Interfaces different by platform, and some are known to have better quality than others, based on the processors inside the device. The PS3 is... - Mop (212 lbs) Apr 12, 13:31 4
  - quick google suggests that the Tivo has the worst interface. Maybe I should check out what the Sony Blu-Ray looks like. -- nm - TFox Apr 12, 13:35 3
    - I don't dispute this. I use the Tivo exclusively only because my Tivo is the one-box-to-rule-them-all. - Mop (212 lbs) Apr 12, 13:37 2
      - and if you delete anything, you have to go all the way back to the top and start over. - TFox Apr 12, 13:38 1
        
        Yep. I experience the exact same behavior. I'm considering leveraging my PS3 more. - Mop (212 lbs) Apr 12, 13:42
- Hey...good question. I have one too...is it better through the Wii or the XBox? or does it matter? -- nm - Jim Apr 12, 13:29 5
  - Wii is SD only. It's bottom of the list for Netflix streaming. -- nm - Mop (212 lbs) Apr 12, 13:32
  - I haven't tried Netflix yet, but I know that internal media streaming over DLNA is better on my Xbox than my BluRay player -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 13:30 3
    - Harper's Island in HD has been awesome -- nm - Jovian Apr 12, 13:31 2
      - the problem was that fast-motion would overload the bluray player and things would get weird and jumpy -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 13:32 1
        
        (However, that might not be an issue on Netflix) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 13:33
