If both my Tivo and my Blu-Ray player can do Netflix streaming, is there any benefit to one over the other?

Or is it going to be the exact same menus, streaming quality, etc through both devices?

Responses:

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
