I'm hoping that a jump to DVD quality, at least, is in the works.  Some of their stuff is close now, but not quite.

However, a quick test of several of the Starz movies on Netflix revealed absolutely terrible video quality. I receive the highest throughput that they stream and the Starz video compression makes everything look fuzzy and out of focus. The original Netflix titles are sub-DVD quality but watchable. The Starz titles are sub-vhs quality and so bad that I find them unwatchable.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bill]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 2nd 2008 11:27AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Starz Play content added to Netflix's streaming library]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/01/starz-play-content-added-to-netflixs-streaming-library/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/01/starz-play-content-added-to-netflixs-streaming-library/</guid><description><![CDATA[I completely agree with the comments about the poor picture quality. I was initially excited about the announcment of more titles to watch instantly, but after sampling a few of the newly available flicks, I have to admit I'm sorely disappointed. This is something that definitely needs to be fixed. I'd rather wait a day to get my DVD in the mail than try to deciper what I'm really seeing on the screen. You can barely make out some of the text in the credits. I honestly thought my eyesight was going... ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lindsay]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 3rd 2008 12:39AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Starz Play content added to Netflix's streaming library]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/01/starz-play-content-added-to-netflixs-streaming-library/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/01/starz-play-content-added-to-netflixs-streaming-library/</guid><description><![CDATA[Horrible, horrible, video quality.

As another commenter mentioned, the video quality is terrible. Another problem is that when you're watching StarzLive there isn't a way to enlarge the picture, meaning that you have to watch the movie in a small box similar to YouTube. This isn't the case with any other Netflix movies, including those provided by  Starz, it's only when you're in the StarzLive/StarzPlay option. Also, the live version of Starz doesn't tell you what you're watching, you have to guess.<br><br>I think it's a great idea but there are still some things that need to be worked out.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Wendy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 3rd 2008 5:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Starz Play content added to Netflix's streaming library]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/01/starz-play-content-added-to-netflixs-streaming-library/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/01/starz-play-content-added-to-netflixs-streaming-library/</guid><description><![CDATA[Another complaint:  The movies are not presented in widescreen.  IE, look at No Country for Old Men.  It's a 2.35:1 movie.  And in Starx/Netflix Watch Instantly it is 1.78:1!  Ugh.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[nathan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 3rd 2008 7:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Starz Play content added to Netflix's streaming library]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/01/starz-play-content-added-to-netflixs-streaming-library/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/01/starz-play-content-added-to-netflixs-streaming-library/</guid><description><![CDATA[Came across this page after doing a google for "starz play" hoping to find people had the same issue with the bad video quality as I did.<br><br>I was worried my connection was considered "degraded" even though Heroes on 'watch instantly' looks great.<br><br>I'll definately think twice about watching a NetFlix watch instantly after the blurry experience I had watching Robocop and Superbad.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 10th 2008 2:06AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Starz Play content added to Netflix's streaming library]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/01/starz-play-content-added-to-netflixs-streaming-library/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/01/starz-play-content-added-to-netflixs-streaming-library/</guid><description><![CDATA[where is HD content?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[USC217]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 26th 2008 9:33AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Starz Play content added to Netflix's streaming library]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/01/starz-play-content-added-to-netflixs-streaming-library/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/01/starz-play-content-added-to-netflixs-streaming-library/</guid><description><![CDATA[I intend to call Netflix and let them know how bad starz quality is as if they didn't know and make it clear my subscription is on the brink of being cancelled as I see more and more of these poor quality options showing up. The original Netflix content is great and HD content needs to be available via pc streaming and playback as well not just on Xbox or Roku. This is bad bad bad. I suggest those who feel as I do make thier voices be heard by calling customer support. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[elliott]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 17th 2008 2:36AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Starz Play content added to Netflix's streaming library]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/01/starz-play-content-added-to-netflixs-streaming-library/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/01/starz-play-content-added-to-netflixs-streaming-library/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have to disagree with the picture quality.

Change whatever speed it is running at I.E. 500 Kbps to 2200 Kbps, this should fix the problem. My guess it's bottlenecking the connection.     <br>Also, complaining doesn't fix anything.  And don't think, just because it doesn't work well, its not your pc.  Everyone's PC is different, good chance, it is your pc.  Next time, research, or research more.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Clint]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 24th 2008 12:24AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
