To be honest, I don't think it makes a blind bit of difference what technology movies are streamed with. I would have thought a movie of a particular length will, assuming it's streamed with the same quality settings, use up the same - or similar - amount of bandwidth whether it's sent via HTML5 or another method, so I don't think the data content is the issue. The volume on the other hand is, but then that's a matter for those maintaining the network infrastructure to worry about.On Apr 17, 2013 8:02 AM, "tom" <tompotts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:tompotts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>> wrote:>> There seem to be attempts to get DRM into HTML5 standard so the likes of Netflix can use the browser for video streaming - like we need more shit blocking up the wires! > As far as I can tell I should be able to run W7 or W8 in a VM and effectively copy the screen and sound of anything thats going on without the OS being 'aware' of it running in a VM unless there is a hardware check.

Do you mean HTML5 or Netflix in general? I like Netflix, catching up will all episodes of 24 right now. Ray Sent from my Nexus 7
As for Netflix etc, it's entirely up to the individual what their bandwidth is used for.. I'd probably use it myself if the main TV was Internet capable :)
