After doing some reading on the highly anticipated Netflix feature, Ive found that apparently there is no indicator telling a user if a movie/show has HD streaming capabilities.

There's also one other problem. Those 300 or so HD movies aren't labeled as such, so there's no way to know if a video will be in HD until it starts buffering and that little "Presented in HD" icon pops up.
Click to expand...
I figured we can generate a list for the time being until this is solved. Please reply with any known HD movies or Shows. I really want to load up my Instant Queue with all the HD content possible.

Notes:

  • Mods feel free to update/delete this thread. I can't constantly update every minute, but Ill do my best.
  • You do not need maximum bars to watch HD and when I get HD streams, they're 3 out of the 4 bars with a little grey into the fourth, assuming that means anything. However when I watch season 3 of the office (which is HD), some episodes will be 4 bars DVD (No "Presented in HD" message and it doesn't look as good as the HD ones) while others are 3 bars HD. For me it seems to be pretty sporadic, like all the episodes either aren't HD or the streaming quality requires more bandwith on those particular episodes. - Draekon
  • 4 bars is maximum regardless of quality. The only way you know you're watching the HD version is via the "Presented in HD" message. While you may choose an HD film, you may get the DVD version because your connection is too slow. - Draekon
  • My 'resolution' on my 360 is set to 1920x1080 and I can't change it for whatever reason through my VGA cables. My television probably won't accept anything lower via VGA for whatever reason and I don't plan to try my component cables anytime soon to check to see if I can get those non-HD episodes via 720p or 1080i. - Draekon
Tips:

1) Get an account with Netflix if you don't already have one.
2) Download Netflix from the Video Marketplace and run it.
3) Go to www.netflix.com/activate while signed in and throw in the key the 360 generates when you run Netflix on the 360
4) Add anything from watch instantly on the netflix website and then it'll be on your 360 to stream automatically
5) Choose the video on your 360 from the Netflix app and it'll run the video with the picture quality based off of your download speed.

No PC required (well, to choose/add movies then you need one...for now at least).

Thanks Smarkbran
 
So is there any way to tell just by checking netflix.com or something? Will i see an 'HD' symbol on the site or on my 360 when i go to watch a movie?
 
[quote name='SynGamer']So is there any way to tell just by checking netflix.com or something? Will i see an 'HD' symbol on the site or on my 360 when i go to watch a movie?[/quote]

As of now, neither. The only way of telling will be to play the movie and see that way. I doubt it lasts long though. For now we can make a list.
 
Ok. I have a problem.

When playing 30 Rock, the "presented in HD" logo never shows up.

Does that mean my connection isn't strong enough?

How many bars (green ones) do you get while it's buffering?

1 or 2.

I should probably do a wired connection and try it.

I think i read that you need 4 (or 5, not sure how high it goes) to get HD.
 
[quote name='fieldkillah']There's a HD section under genres at the watch instantly section on netflix's site.

Also King of Kong is one of the HD movies.[/quote]

I am having trouble finding this...Can you explain a bit more?
 
[quote name='SynGamer']http://www.netflix.com/WiHD?lnkctr=hdgenre[/quote]


Odd, its not working...Are you already using Netflix with your 360. I ask because I am not yet and maybe this feature is available to 360 users.

"

So I switched to wired and am getting 4 bars but still no luck.

Any suggestions?

I figured it out.

I had my Display settings set for 720p and I had to change it 1080i.

Thanks SynGamer.

The list is still nice to have for those who don't have Netflix and want to know if it's worth the trouble. That is if they're only interested in watching stuff from the HD selection. Granted the DVD streamable selection isn't that great either.

If you guys want a good movie AND nudity, watch Cashback. It's in HD (on the list).

I think with the addition of Starz, their DVD streamable selection has become very good.

Easily the best section, but most of the good movies on there I've seen multiple times already and I don't really feel like I need to subscribe to watch them again.

My two week trial will be enough for me to watch everything I want from the streamable side of Netflix.
 
Are they going to continually add new movies/TV shows? I really hope it is similar to Video on Demand with comcast, where as soon as a new movie is released on DVD you can watch it. Also, they add new episodes of TV shows about a week after they come out. Southpark is released a week after it airs on TV. Will netflix be similar? I sure hope so!

since is FREe there is no way they are going to put the DVD out there the first day it comes out.


so when you plug the xbox in it shows the list of movies you have in your Q or do you have to go into your computer to start the movie

Or can you pick what movie you want to start just usin the xbox

Its not free, you have to pay for netflix. I was just wondering how often the library would be updated.

Wish I could say, but what I know is that new releases are not on the streamable listings. Don't know when or if it will change, but if they do change it to work like that then I'd definitely consider signing on to Netflix.
 
Since this is stickied, I noticed the opening post has been updated so I'll make a couple things clear:

[quote name='kevzik']Apparently if you are an earlt NXE user, you should be able to find the movies here: Watch Instantly>Genres>HD or Watch Instantly>Genres>HD[/quote]

The way you list to find them are both the same. :p




[quote name='kevzik']If you don't get HD or don't see the "Presented in HD" logo, check your connection. It is likely that 1-2 bars will yield SD and 4-5 will yield HD.[/quote]

4 bars is maximum regardless of quality. The only way you know you're watching the HD version is via the "Presented in HD" message. While you may choose an HD film, you may get the DVD version because your connection is too slow.

You do not need maximum bars to watch HD and when I get HD streams, they're 3 out of the 4 bars with a little grey into the fourth, assuming that means anything. However when I watch season 3 of the office (which is HD), some episodes will be 4 bars DVD (No "Presented in HD" message and it doesn't look as good as the HD ones) while others are 3 bars HD. For me it seems to be pretty sporadic, like all the episodes either aren't HD or the streaming quality requires more bandwith on those particular episodes.

My 'resolution' on my 360 is set to 1920x1080 and I can't change it for whatever reason through my VGA cables. My television probably won't accept anything lower via VGA for whatever reason and I don't plan to try my component cables anytime soon to check to see if I can get those non-HD episodes via 720p or 1080i.

Good stuff. It looks like there are more HD movies out there that aren't included in your list...Jackass for example?

Man, I need this update soon so I can be on the same page with everyone else.

so does everyone who wants to stream netflix on their 360 need to do this or if you currently have netflix it should be there automatically?
 
[quote name='DestroVega']so does everyone who wants to stream netflix on their 360 need to do this or if you currently have netflix it should be there automatically?[/quote]

As far as I know that's the way it works for everyone. Although I do not know if you can give an activation key to someone else with a netflix account and be able to stream their instant watch stuff through your 360.

Netflix on your 360 is a very small download (a few megabytes) and it's accessible from the NXE Dashboard (but it's listed under Video Marketplace).
 
Has anyone with two Xbox consoles tried to activate both on the same Netflix account? Obviously I understand you couldn't watch from both at the same time but hopefully you aren't limited to only using the service on one Xbox....?
 
Thanks OP it looks like I won't be getting netflex anytime soon then. I can't understand why they just won't put all their movies out in HD, even worst you can't get new releases (Get Smart, etc.) steaming which is even more lame. Guess I'll stick to red box for my new releases.

I need to know this too. My plan is to have HD Movies going on in the Living room and then shows for my spare time in the bedroom.

NUMBER 3

go to that on your PC or go to that on your xbox 360

if you need to have your PC on at the same time as that xbox then the xbox is no better then the 100 stand alone box they had out for years

You can't go there via your 360 as there's no web browser, so it's definitely on the PC.

You need the randomly generated code from your 360, so it must be on to get the code. I don't believe that code lasts very long and it then asks you to input it at the netflix website while signed into your account.

You just need the PC on to activate it the first time. After that you don't need it on to watch movies on the X-box. You do have to use the PC to add stuff to your instant queue.

And yes, otherwise it's more or less the same thing as that Roku box they've had out for a while (not years, instant watch hasn't been around years much less the box), only it costs nothing for people with a 360 who already had a Netflix account.
