I’ve been using Netflix again on the Apple TV, results have been getting worse, we tried to watch the pilot of Twin Peaks a couple of nights ago, and it cut out several times, sometimes a couple of times with 10 minutes, but sometimes it would go 45  minutes without a glitch. In some ways, this isn’t too bad, but it’s difficult to relax and get absorbed if you know a random disturbance is about to happen, maybe in 30 seconds, maybe in 30 minutes, but it will happen.

So, onto the PS3, which also supports Netflix, I installed the app, which was pretty much automatic, and so far, have a watched a full length film and several TV episodes, and a not a single problem, fingers crossed…

It’s a shame, the Apple TV is cheaper, quieter, smaller, but it’s just not up to the job.

I don’t know why people making devices don’t realize the internet isn’t reliable enough for direct streaming, it just isn’t.
