Can I watch movies on my Mac?
I cancelled my Netflix subscription earlier this year, but I heard that some people can watch movies on their computer. Is that available for Mac users? When I was a subscriber, it wasn't yet available to me. Anyone know if it is now?
I’m considering rejoining

They've been saying that for a LONG time. It won't happen for an even LONGER time. -

You should contact them, the blog links to the 'netflix community', get them to start whining here... maybe netflix will then join in.

In fact, I have. Still working on it.

Inappropriate?I'm a current Netflix subscriber & a 20 year Mac user. I would love to be able to watch Netflix movies instantly on my Mac. This new dilemma is just another microcosm of the Mac users struggle with the software industry in general, which in the grand scheme of things, gives little consideration to Mac users and has compelled many of my other Mac friends to run tandem PC/Mac operations just to fill the void. Call me a dreamer, but I'm reminded of an old childhood ad that crystalizes my hope for an increase in the percentage of Mac-friendly software. "We are Flintstone kids. Ten million strong, and growing!

Inappropriate?Im also a long time Mac User... I just got the Roku NetFlix Player. Its awesome. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I'd rather watch movies on my TV anyway. So I think this could be a good solution for all those other Mac people out there....

I agree it's *one* solution, but it's not really *the* solution. I would hate to see them skip real Mac support, or even slow down that effort, because of the Roku box.

I like the Roku box idea....but why can't it just run as software on my mac.

Inappropriate?I wouldn't mind just plain AppleTV support. It's very possible to write apps for the AppleTV, even with the latest versions.
