I've been using the Netflix streaming without a disc now since the feature has been available and I am very happy with the difference. It is like night and day. With the disc, it is very slow to have a chosen title buffer and load. Also, it took quite a long time to return to the menu from watching something. Many times a title would stop after about 15 or 20 minutes and rebuffer. All of these issues are completley gone now. There is a much improved interface. I couldn't be happier, unless of course everyone had better bandwidth to get better quality. But the stuff in HD looks pretty good though: somewhere between good DVD quality and Blu-Ray.
