We've used Amazon streaming on our myth box, and found it OK.

I think Netflix still delivers better video quality -- we watch from our Wii, and don't have the bandwidth for more than 480P anyway -- but not sure the difference is enough to care about.
Hi dinotrac,

The connection speed definitely can make a big difference in quality. At 480p are you getting Max connection quality while streaming from Amazon?

Take care, daemox
@daemox --

Don't know. Didn't pay enough attention. We were just so happy that we could get recent movies that we actually wanted to see right on our mythbox and didn't have to go out to the redbox and stand behind the one joker who always seems to show up and have to go through the entire selection 12 times before believing the movie he wants isn't there.
Awesome, az. I saved a Yahoo page for long time that had an article on anorexia nervosa all festooned with lose weight fast ads.
