Now, the streaming service has proven so popular that Netflix will offer a stand-alone streaming subscription service, says the company's Chief Financial Officer Barry McCarthy."</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1235693089.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></em></p><p>I've watched a few shows and movies on my <a href="http://www.xbox.com/" target="_blank">Xbox 360</a> and my<a href="http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/" target="_blank"> MBP</a> via the streaming through <a href="http://www.netflix.com" target="_blank">Netflix</a>, and while the quality isn't superb, its is more than watchable. I am currently on the $30.99/month plan mainly for the mini-series I like to catch up on and there hasn't been a lot of streaming for the mini-series until recently. I've been pleasantly surprised at the number of mini-series, such as <a href="http://www.aetv.com/MI5/index.jsp" target="_blank">MI-5</a>, that have ended up there that are on my normal que. Depending on the price they set for this, it is something that I will have to consider. If only they would get an "official" interface for <a href="http://www.apple.com/appletv/" target="_blank">AppleTV</a>...</p><p> </p>
