News: Xbox360 & Tivo to get Netflix HD Streaming
October 31st, 2008 Posted in News
Great news for Netflix subscribers. The 360 and Tivo are both scheduled to receive interface updates that will allow them to stream HD and SD content to your TV. The 360 streaming is expected first with the Fall update coming in the first weeks of November, and the Tivo update is expected in early December.
The Tivo update is only coming for the Tivo HD and Tivo Series 3 units, and none of the updates will include any extra fees associated with them. No real word yet on what the quality of these streaming services will be like, however HD content is expected to be similar to the Apple TV (around 4-5 MBps compression)
