   • ANSWER:
     I think Clannad is on instant watch, I suggest that to you. I’ll give you a short summary.

     Tomoya Okazaki is a third year high school student resentful of his life. His mother passed away from a car accident when he was younger, causing his father to resort to alcohol and gambling. This results in fights between the two until Tomoya’s shoulder is injured in a fight. Since then, Tomoya has had distant relationships with his father, causing him to become a delinquent over time. While on a walk to school, he meets a strange girl named Nagisa Furukawa who is a year older, but is repeating due to illness. Due to this, she is often alone as most of her friends have moved on. The two begin hanging out and slowly, as time goes by, Tomoya finds his life shifting in a new direction.

4. QUESTION:
   What are some good movies on Netflixs?
   I prefer comedies, romantic comedies, thrillers whatever’s good. But yeah what would you think are some of the better movies on netflix that are worth watching?

5. QUESTION:
   What are some good movies to watch tryin to find stuff to watch on netflixs?

   • ANSWER:
     I would recommend “Moon” with Sam Rockwell and Kevin Spacey. It’s an interesting sci-fi drama that I had heard was good from reviews so I watched it with my friends and it turned out to be a really good story. I would also recommend “He Loves Me… He Loves Me Not” with Audrey Tautou. It’s in the foreign movies section and if you start watching it, it may seem like a stupid romance, but believe me there is a strange twist that makes everything way better.

6. QUESTION:

   What I mean is I can not watch video’s on netflixs.A error comes up and say I have to install a font on my computer can any one tell me what to do.I have no clue what to do.

9. QUESTION:
   when on netflixs, do they send each disk on the tv show or the whole box set?
   i have NCIS on my list and i wanted to if i can get the whole box set or will i just the disk after disk?

   • ANSWER:
     They will send one disc at a time.

     I rent a lot of TV series on Netflix, so I will pass on a tip: I always put only the next disc at the top, and rest farther down on the list so they won’t send them out of order or two at a time. Once in a while a disc will get broken in the mail or something, and I want to be sure to watch in order.

10. QUESTION:
    What wire do i need to conecct to netflixs to the wii?

    • ANSWER:

11. QUESTION:
    Is HD DVD dead now? After Netflixs and Best Buy Announce they will got exclusive to Blu-ray?

    • ANSWER:
      Pretty much, Blu-ray has the potential to be a better disc format. You can only view so much “HD” quality, and a HD DVD will look the same as blu-ray on most modern HD tv sets, but Blu-ray has greater capacity, and the option to hold an even higher definition shuold there ever be a TV that can reproduce such an image…and then whether or not your eye can even sense any improvement over modern HD is doubtful.

      Look at BETA and VHS tapes back in the 80′s. VHS format won because of the porn industry. Porn producers chose to market their stuff on VHS tapes, so VHS became the standard. Nothing WRONG with BETA, just didn’t win the battle.

      Nowadays movie production is using more and more of Sony’s Blu-ray becasue of its potential, and now Nextflix is following suit. The rest of the owrld is next…..

12. QUESTION:
    Is 7 Mbps fast enough to watch HD Netflixs?
    I have a PS3 that I watch Netflix’s with that is hooked up to a 1080 TV. I am upgrading from 1.5 which as you can tell was pretty poor quality streaming to 7Mbps. Is this going to be worth my extra $$?

    • ANSWER:
      7mbps is pretty freaking fast. I think you can download 160 kbs with 1.5 and around 700ish with 7mbps so you’ll be able to stream most stuff effortlessly

13. QUESTION:
    is comcasts on demand the same as netflixs?

17. QUESTION:
    Can You Burn a DVD from Netflixs?
    Is there any way of them knowing that u did it? could u get introuble for it if ur not selling it?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes totally… There is this great program called DVDFAB. Download it, not the trial version. The paid version is totally worth it. Because not only will you be able to burn DVDs but you would be able to convert them into any format, (for Ipod, iPhone, iTouch, PSP, even some cell phones). The reason why I say not the trial version is simply because most DVDs now days are protected with several different codes, (I think that’s what they are called). DVDFAB removes all DVD copy protections, like CSS, CPPM, RC, RCE, APS, UOPs, ARccOS, RipGuard, FluxDVD, CORE X2, etc.

      **NOTE** I notice just now that they have changed their product list. Before you were able to just purchase the DVDFAB Platinum version, and it included the option to convert the original DVD to multiple formats, but now it’s all separate. Sorry, but again it works GREAT! But depending on how long you want to wait I would recommend that you order the hard copy, and have it shipped. Good Luck!

18. QUESTION:
    Why is Netflixs limited in Canada?
    I just downloaded the Netflix one month trial on my PS3, and all of the good movies aren’t available. Why is that? Is it just because it’s a free trial? Or is it because I’m in Canada?

    • ANSWER:
      neither, they change what movies you can watch online all the time. new movies your only going to get on dvd. and i think there’s a 1 month lag from release to netflixs

20. QUESTION:
    Do you agree with the CEO of NETFLIXS?
    He wants Obama to tax people 50%, if they make over million.
    I am just wondering how this guy can say that after making millions of dollars. This is what he told CNN about the feeling of success. “I was down in Arizona in 2003 visiting one of our distribution centers on the outskirts of Phoenix. It was raining, and my umbrella wasn’t working, so I walked the half mile from the distribution center to the hotel. I got the message on my BlackBerry that we hit a million [subscribers] that day while I was walking in the rain. It was this beautiful moment where I was just so elated that we were going to make it, and that was also the first quarter that we turned profitable. It was a magic walk.”

    What a hypocrite!

    http://money.cnn.com/2009/01/27/news/newsmakers/hastings_netflix.fortune/

    • ANSWER:
      I want him to tax people 70% if they make over a million.

21. QUESTION:
    Netflixs and internet connection?
    I internet on my computer runs pretty fast, buat as far as the streaming of my internet to my xbox it varies when im watching netflixs. One miniute its on high resolution and full speed and then all of the suddent whit out cause its at the lowest resolution and lowest internet connection, ive had netflixs for a while and this is a problem i havent been able to resolve. Any suggestions?

    • ANSWER:
      When ever you are using two or more applications or hardware to access the internet at the same time, one will try to take priority over the others for the fastest connection. On your router, look for Qos. Question of service allows you to set up a portion of your bandwidth and dedicate it to a device or application. You have to figure out the IP address of each device and port numbers for each application. Also you need to know how much bandwidth your ISP is giving you.
