A HackingNetflix.com reader recently reported taking a Netflix survey that asked, in part:
Imagine that Netflix offers its subscribers the ability to instantly watch movies & TV episodes on their iPhone. The selection availability to instantly watch includes some new releases, lots of classics and TV episodes. There are no advertisements or trailers, and movies start in as little as 30 seconds. You can fast-forward, rewind, and pause or watch again. The movies & TV episodes you instantly watch are included in your Netflix membership for no additional fee.
Whenever you want to instantly watch content on your iPhone, your iPhone must be connected to a Wi-Fi network (such as one you might have at home or at work, or in public places like coffee shops, book stores, hotels, airports, etc.)
If this functionality were available, how likely would you or someone in your household be to instantly watch movies & TV episodes on your iPhone via a Wi-Fi network?

Right….Apple would approve of that…….
That would turn my iPhone into an AppleTV.
Netflix ‘instant watch’ is a great service, well worth the paltry subscription price. Bring it to the iPad without Silverlight, and I’ll be there.
I’m with you groak
even more if there is a way to mirror on my HDTV
ipad, ilove,iwatch.
I wish Apple buys Netflex and Palm…
I use the SlingPlayer with my TiVo and FiOS TVand it provides very useful functionality, especially now that it works over 3G. I would love to have Netflix work in a similar manner. I am not too sure why they feel like they need to limit it to WiFi only though.
Where is the download button and how long does it take to get there.
That is how fast it would be used!!!
Can you say airports, oh yea!
I’m on board with that. Instant Watch is fantastic.
Selection sucks balls.
@jjr, only if you’re looking for porn. Otherwise it’s excellent.
