Netflix To Lift Streaming Limits

Posted by kdawson on Sunday January 13, 2008 @11:49AM from the oh-my-groaning-pipes dept.

The AP has a story on Netflix's move to head off expected competition from Apple: the company will lift limits on streaming its movies for most subscribers. The story reports on rumors of an Apple movie-download service that may be announced by Steve Jobs on Tuesday. In the past Netflix has imposed limits on how long its subscribers could watch streamed movies; for example, those who paid $16.99/mo. could stream up to 17 hours per month. The limits will end on Monday for most subscribers (except for those paying $4.99 for two DVD rentals a month, said to be a small minority). The company has 6,000 movies available for streaming, compared to 90,000 that you can get delivered in the mail.

It is still only works on Windows with Internet Explorer. I have to assume Apple's solution will work on my Macs running OS X.
