Netflix intentional denies Linux clients from using their streaming service because of DRM. Please send them letters and phone calls expressing why this is stupid. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 6 March 2011 14:21, jimbo <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:evesautomotive@wavecable.com">evesautomotive@wavecable.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

until our neighborhood blockbusters closed. This is our only entertainment<br>
as we have cut back severly.<br>

Netflix looks like a great fit. At 9.99/mo. this is a great deal. I am<br>
however behind the times as far as streaming.<br>
<br>
Does anyone stream netflix with Linux programs? I think xbnc does this.<br>
Using Linux would have huge advantages over Windblows, I think.<br>
<br>
I also need to find an option to stream to my non wifi tv w/o hooking my pc<br>
to it.<br>
<br>
One last thing. I can use an older spare pc and hook it to my tv but what<br>
about quality? Can I get away with a so so gpu but get 1080p pumping out of<br>
my set? What would be a light weight Linux distro that will let me do<br>
this? Maybe I can come to the next installfest and not only have this but a<br>
dvr?<br>
