Just got another kick in the head from Netflix.
In the past I was able to watch something on my computer and the kids could watch something else in the front room via the Xbox and even something else on the laptop or ipad....multiple streams.
Today I was watching a show on the computer and the kids wanted to watch something on the tv and when they tried, they received and error stating that there was a movie already in progress (mine). I had to exit so they could start theirs.
I called Netflix and they stated that $7.99 only covered one stream and my options were to add another account or 'upgrade' to their DVD rental and you can have as many steams as DVD plan (i.e. if I had the 4 dvd plan, I could stream on the PC, TV, Laptop and iPad at the same time).
I guess they have to make up for lost subscribers somehow
