    Netflix question.
    What is the picture quality like if I use Netflix via WiFi to TV? Receiver and BluRay Player have NetFlix built in.
    Does it make a difference if you are connected via a wired/ethernet connection vs WiFi?
    Are most of the movies/tv shows in HD?
    Breaking Bad available in HD?

    I have a PS3 that I use to watch Netflix on my tv.

    The picture quality is good. Obviously it's not as good as television or a Bluray disc, but it's still very good. Some of the movies are higher quality I think.

    It doesn't make a difference if it's wifi as long as you have a good connection.

    I don't know if most of the shows are in HD, but I would say a lot of them are.

    Breaking Bad is in HD.

    I ran an ethernet from my wifi router to an ethernet switch by my components. I from there, it's ethernet to the PS3, Apple TV, and DTV box. WiFi should suffice, but wired is guaranteed bandwidth back to at least the router.

    I get a lot of pauses in the evening when I stream Netflix

    You guys saw on the Wifi Router thread how slow my internet is......... and we stream Netflix on our AppleTV. It looks great, not buffering or pausing. We use it all the time on our home tv, iphones and iPad!

    I may be in the minority here but I'd still much rather buy a blu-ray than digital.
