Alessandra Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I went to look at some instant view movies I'd seen recently, and now they are no longer on instant. Some are old movies, like Marathon Man, Jaws, etc. If I look at my instant view history, these movies now show up with yellow (not red) stars. Could this have anything to do with the new price structure at Netflix? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tap Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 :iagree: Movies go in and out of availability on instant view. I have also noticed that sometimes a tv show will dissapear, and then reappear the next day with more episodes. I figure they must pull it off of instant view to update it.

They did that with the Wizard of Oz a year or so ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also made it much easier to keep track of where I was in a particular show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 Netflix is currently having issues with streaming Sony movies, though. From your link: The disappearance of Sony’s movies resulted from a clause in the Starz agreement. According to people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity because contract terms are confidential, it includes an undisclosed cap, which has recently been exceeded, on the number of people who can watch Sony movies online. That is illuminating. Thanks for sharing the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
