Netflix coming to Vista Media Center

 

At this time there is no extender or Windows 7 support, I anticipate Windows 7 will come at some point but I am not so optimistic about the extender.

That said I love this Netflix app it’s a great way to get online movies.

The new Netflix app for Vista Media Center will show up left of the Recorded TV.

If you have a Netflix account you can queue up DVDs to be sent to you by mail from inside the Netflix add-in with the Media Center remote.

The cool thing about this new Netflix add-in is you can watch an assortment of the DVDs now.

When you click on the DVD will start to buffer and play in about 3 to 7 seconds, this is free if you have a Netflix account.

At the top of the Netflix app you will see the categories “Sci-Fi”, “Action & Adventure”,” Children & Family”, “Drama”, these categories can be changed but you will need the to go to http://www.netflix.com/ to change the categories.

Children & Family category this is great for the kids, I have a 3 year old who loves watching cartoons.

My wife's favorite the Drama category.
