“Netflix ‘Watch Instantly’ movie streaming for Intel-based Mac is out of beta and now available to all Netflix subscribers who own Macs,” Christian Zibreg reports for TG Daily.
“The service is now open to all Mac users who wish to try it out,” Zibreg reports. “Watch Instantly still features only a small portion of Netflix’s library, but users are promised that they will be able to stream more than 12,000 movies and TV shows by the end of the year.”
“Watch Instantly is enabled on Intel-based Macs through Microsoft’s Silverlight technology to deliver dynamic streams… Silverlight includes a platform- and browser-agnostic copy protection that prevents video stream ripping,” Zibreg reports.
“Watch Instantly is free for Netflix subscribers, but available streaming volume depends on individual subscription plans. For instance, unlimited streaming is included in plans priced at $8.99 per month and above. At this time, Watch Instantly is not supported on Apple TV,” Zibreg reports.
