Does anyone on the island have a Roku box?
If so, since I assume you have to run it through a VPN, what connection speed is fast enough to stream movies?
Maybe ask Julien at CSM2000 that question Ben, I know for a fact I cant do it...I think 512K might be the bottom side of bearable and might stream normal defintion but HD? I just dont know...
We have the 1MB connection, but I'm in the states for a couple more days and am trying to decide whether to give it a try. If I do buy it, I'm certainly not going to spring for the HD model.
Ben I'm bringing an Apple TV down just to experiment, in fact the wife's new Kindle Fire might be a good indication of streaming seeing as I've been playing with the Kindle Fire netflix app. One MB? I wouldnt you'd be rebuffering (HD choke!) at that kind of speed. Is that an asynchronous connx (different speeds down and up)?
What BTL calls the 1MB connection (~$125 US/month) is 100KB/s download, 50KB/s upload. It's fast enough for most types of streaming, but Netflix has always been pretty buggy. Again though, I won't be trying for the HD stream -- even SD would be great. I'll write an update this weekend and let you know if it works.
FB,
It just occurred to me, are you streaming NetFlix with an American Netflix account?
