If you are a Netflix subscriber and you've already jumped on-board with Netflix online, you'll be happy to know that Netflix is gearing up to remove time restrictions for online movie viewing. Previously, users with the $5.99 plan got six hours of online viewing each month, while those with the popular $17.99 plan got 18 hours. Unless you are a part of the $4.99 plan (which isn't included in the unlimited offer), you'll be able to watch movies all day and night if you choose to do so!

Yay! It's a great way to get caught up on a couple TV shows! I just started watching "30 Rock" online.

I do wish they had a better movie selection for online viewing though.

Oh yay! I don't often take advantage of the online viewing on Netflix, but when I did, the time limit used to drive me nuts! It never seemed quite right. When you had to pause a movie, the movie would time out and start over.... and sometimes I would bail on the movie part-way through.

And I'm with you, steen. I wish they had a better movie selection.

That's nice but I still wish they would offer something for those with macs. I hate that I can't use it at all.

Ditto, the no support for Macs thing blows. I've wanted to subscribe to Netflix because I hate Blockbuster, but I'll hold off until they do something for Macs.

What they need to do is go back to the old format of movies releasing this week. They changed the site around and didnt say anything.

Yeah I don't like the new netflix website either--and when are they going to do something with Mac's--no fair!

It really is frustrating that they are ignoring Macs. I like their service,and really don't want to get something else entirely for online viewing
