So-called experts are stating that Netflix & its media-supplier partners want subscribers to use streaming and eventually discard supplying discs. What is NOT being stated is that subscribers must be masochists if they only use streaming. The quality of streaming is unlikely in even the next few years to rival a HD blu-ray disc ? I used both the disc supply & streaming with Netflix. Streaming quality was usually only 480p resolution and that stream included numerous stutters ? And I use high speed cable! Basically, the upcoming new Netflix pricing is lower than poor - it rivals the upcharge for 3-D theatre movies that use passive glasses - usually not worth it. Exactly where are the technical statements about how streaming will be HD quality with negligible issues? And what about possible bandwidth caps and other service issues from your ISP and home network? Tiered internet service is here unfortunately and the bottom line - I will be cancelling Netflix later this month
