Anyone here use the new netflix "watch instantly" feature on your xbox 360?

I've been trying to make this work on my 360..

I do have the Netflix subscription and I logged into my xbox 360 using the codes to connect to my netflix account, it worked with no problem.. But when I go into the menu to pick out the movies and then I would try to play it, but then it would come back up and says "No playback found"

so I basically cant watch anything as of now.. I am curious if anyone of you here know how to fix this kind of problem or work with it?

I think this feature is pretty awesome, there are some movies that I would like to watch, I can just watch it instantly rather than having netflix mail me the movies.

Thanks in advance

make sure you are picking moives in the Stream/Watch Now section or something similiar.

Are you adding movies to your 'instant queue', and not just your regular queue?

It's working fine for me.

It's not even worth watching on the 360. It's pretty horrible //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif. Better off just streaming to my laptop.

uhh yeah the instanst que. lol, i haven't played with it much so i don't know what it's all called.

you can be on the netflix screen on the 360 and as you select for your instant que they show up on the screen almost immediately. mine did.

Works great for me, HD movies look very good.

How much do subscriptions cost maybe I should start doing this?

I'd say its pretty bandwidth heavy?

I think I'm paying $8.99/mo for 1 rental at a time and unlimited online

Yeah, it is. Video doesn't lag at all though, at least for me.

click "add to instant" but not all movies are available in instant play. when on netflix make sure you're under the tab that says "watch instantly"

i've been using it a lot.

and it looks just as good as tv or a dvd to me, with no lag problems.

Just signed up for my free trial, the only thing that sucks is that its mostly older movies.

the movies i selected are the "watch now" movies..

not sure why..

I live on campus at my college so do you think maybe the campus internet is blocking it or something like that?

But I would love to find out how to get it to work.. Other way, I might just borrow my friend's pc and connect it to my tv so that way i can watch it on TV rather than on the computer..
