I signed up a beta service on The Media Mall to watch NetFlix (www.netflix.com) on the XBox, since I also have a DLINK DSM-520, I thought i will give a try!. First off, for my long waiting, this is an wonderful experience. I had to move all my wireless to the wired setting, otherwise there is a pause every few seconds, it makes for a the quality of video i was getting ranging from 5mbs to 7mbps, (yes you will need at least 6 Mbps Internet bandwidth).
Ok for someone who doesn’t know what I am talking about, I have Netflix account to get one movie at a time for about $9, and also I get the online video service, which i can watch unlimited movies anytime. I have been watching TV Series and movies, connecting my laptop HDMI to the 50″ Plasma (Home theater). well using the laptop is not bad using a wireless keyboard (built-in mouse), but it is not as convenient as using a conventional remote.
Now, with the Media Mall PlayOn, I can run this PlayOn software on the PC on my home network, and the DSM 520 automatically detects and shows the list of my favorite movies in my NetFlix account, and again this DSM 520 is part of my home theater setup with HDMI and a simple to use Remote. Now I can watch video from Hulu, CBS etc.
