That doesn't seem like netflix's fault. Looks as if you need a lil perk in your speed pepper.

This would be a (AT&T) issue not a netflix issue.

I hate netflix because there are no subtitles in millions of streaming titles, while their DVD counterparts do.

I see that more as a limitation of the technology in current form.

As much as I like to blame AT&T, even for things which aren't their fault, I think it's a stretch to say AT&T has any effect on my Comcast cable modem.

They do have subtitles on some movies, that you can even turn on and off. But I've only ever seen english subtitles (for english language shows; Lost is the only one I remember at the moment). This started a year(or two?) ago. I definitely expected it to have spread faster than it has by now.

I think it's safe to say that they're using it wrong, not that it's limited. We know they can deploy it. I would be shocked if they are typing in the content by hand, so we can be reasonably confident that they can import it just fine. What technological limit could there be?

I thought I may have heard that, but how to enable it or if its available on the 360 is unknown to me.
