At first I was like OMG, but alas, streaming does not work.
I'm also interested in this, i'll try and find one after my class lets out. There is an app to stream tv shows that I use and it's pretty good, has alot of tv shows. https://market.android.com/details?id=tvshows.kiio.es

Yes I use TV Shows stream as well and its quite awesome although a tad expensive but at least its only a one time fee. Definitely give it a look. Tons of shows to choose from. I use it every day on my tab both with and without my HDMI dock.
T-Mobile tab running latest Overcome
The tv shows stream app is amazing. The quality of the videos varies but the sheer amount of shows available makes up for it.
I've been doing some research and just looking into it I have the leaked app but not streaming I'm able to move my que and all that good jazz but my question is how exactly is netflix blocking streaming from my Droid and letting streaming on Windows 7 phone and the iPhone...Verizon has both on their network.

DRM in the hardware. The LG Revolution will have NetFlix which supports said DRM. We have the same processor as that phone so hopefully NetFlix adds support for the Thunderbolt.
I was at class all day but I found this link, says it works' for certain devices

As far as I know the leaked netflix app that was announced a few weeks ago doesn't work on the Tbolt.
Oh well. There isn't any other app that I am aware of and I've been an Android girl for over a year now.. So I think you might be out of luck. There is a website though that is java enabled that I use to be able to watch movies through my phone. Hope that eases a bit of the frustration Netflix is causing by not providing an app yet for us
The website name is veetle dot com & I also love LOVE the TV Stream app. That works wonders for me. Hope this helps
Playon works! Had mine working but then my mobile connection broke. Never got to try mobile data to wee how it streams but worked well with WiFi.

Correct, it doesn't work on the TB right now... But it doesn't work on any other phone either at this moment. That's because it is assumed that Netflix hasn't yet "flipped the switch" to turn it on since it's not yet ready for primetime (the .apk itself was prematurely pulled from an upcoming LG ROM dump) and has not yet been 'officially' released from Netflix.
The Bolt has the same processor as the upcoming LG device that is confirmed to support Netflix. As such, it is presumed that the Bolt has the same DRM keys to allow for streaming. It's just a matter of Netflix enabling streaming to the app on their end
From what I understand from one of our reps, is that there is a going to be a netflix streaming app working on Verizon soon, they are waiting for a specific phone to launch it.
can't wait!
So do we know maybe an ETA on when we can expect to see it go live?

Probably around the time the LG Revolution drops (since it is likely the phone that is slated to "launch" the Netflix app), which is scheduled for a Q2 release
That is correct, will first launch on the Revolution. You guys don't have to much longer to wait

I might actually restart my netflix service when this comes live. Might not be so bad watching movies on this screen. My Inc was just a little too small to really enjoy.

I just had someone contact me on craigslist saying the would trade me their Samsung Galaxy tab for my jailbroken 16g wifi ipad. Would you do it? I already have the nook color (cm7) and an Evo 4g. I don't really use my ipad but my NC is basically the same thing as a halcyon tab... right?
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App
I wouldn't. The GTab is too much like the NC. Hold on to the iPad until someone offers to trade you for a honeycomb tablet. Yeah, he'll probably ask for your iPad + a little cash, but it'll probably be worth it.
I wouldn't do it either. The NC seems to be almost exactly the same as the Galaxy Tab. If you decided you did want to trade still, you should request some cash with that trade. Galaxy Tab is like 350, so I'd want at least $50 to make it equal.
They arent exactly equal
My Galaxy tab makes and receives phonecalls. Plus the built in GPS makes carrying 1 device better then carrying my nook and a phone.
Just my opinion of course.
Yeah that's what I figured. If I didn't have the NC I'd do that trade in a heartbeat. Just wasn't sure with the rumors of hc coming to the g tab if it would be worth it. But then again when the source for hc comes out the NC will have it fully functioning.

I can't imagine using something as big as the GTab as my phone... even with a bluetooth headset.
If you use it with a headset, incoming calls are no problem. (and yes, it is hilarious to phone with.... tried it!)
I would trade the iPad, but then again, I'm not exactly fond of Apple products in general.
ITunes makes me mental! I jailbroke it and its still not very customizable. Yeah it has the Cydia and winterboard apps but they're just themes and apps.... I think! I don't really pick up my ipad except for Netflix and now my Evo has it and hope the NC gets it soon. When Netflix comes to the NC my ipad will just gather dust (except the speaker sucks on the NC even with a custom kernel)

Erm...you're aware many of us are happily using NetFlix on our NCs since yesterday, right?

got both nook and Gtab -
and yes they are very similar, and in fact NC overclocked is snappier than my GTab
BUT...
i make video calls with my Gtab to friends with iphone 4
and having a camera grew on me
and convenience of location based apps
but to the original poster - opt for trade with honeycomb

Long story short. It's very big in Europe and it's finally in the U.S. because they have to deal with record labels and things like that. You get to stream music from them, and it's pretty much amazing. Also allows syncing to your Android device.

Anyone have luck with caching for offline play with 4g. I can stream fine with 4g but it wont download for offline play when I select a playlist in the offline playlist editor. Works fine over 3g but is uselessly slow doing that.

I disagree. With Spotify you have nearly any album at your disposal. Can cache up to like 3,333 songs for offline play. For me this beats the hell out of wasting disc space maintaining a collection and in turn actually making the artists some money. I canceled my Slacker account. They had on demand too but their cache process sucked, the app sucked, and the library smaller. The Spotify app and service blows it away. $10 a month is nothing if you listen to a lot of music. I've had it 3 days now and have already listened to about 20 different albums straight through. Pays for itself even if you listen to only 1 album a month.

Nice, are you watching it on your DHD? Or have you got a DLNA TV etc?
Can you comment on the video quality please?
Where does the video download to - the SD card? Technically, couldn't you copy the file to the PC, so when it expires, you can just restore the file?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Using DLNA...would be a bit awkward to sit there and watch it on my dhd with my girlfriend the video quality is really good, DVD quality. I had the idea to try and store it on my pc but it doesn't work. The film doesn't save to the sd card..you download it over htc's servers and the download stays on the servers! The film requires a licence to be started (which you get once you purchase the film). So in theory, even if you somehow get the film into your pc, it wouldn't work without the licence :/

To be honest, I think the folks in other countries are in a slightly worse boat. At least US users of non-rooted Chromecasts still have all the stock apps including HBO Go and Pandora. Seems like the folks in Canada are having trouble even with those.
If we're lucky there will be a nice Christmas (or pre-Christmas) present from Google...

I'd say that's definitely gonna be the case, especially since Google is conducting their Google Cast SDK "Hackathon" on Dec. 7-8th. I'd say the SDK will be released either at that time or less than a week after. My bet is that it will be officially released immediately following that event though.

Yeah since I'm outside the US and have an unrootable Chromecast I had to buy a new wireless router just so I could use DD-WRT to get around the Chromecast's built-in Google DNS and access the US Netflix library. But on the bright side it's a damn good router even without the Chromecast :laugh:
Same prob here, I was in a rush to try it out, I forgot to check xda first. The device is currently just lying in the drawer as I hardly use it since I live in Singapore so I got no netflix, just YT lol

Yes, if done via the Cast extension for Chrome, but this does on-the-fly transcoding (decode/re-encode) on your computer so it needs some CPU horsepower.
Chromecast cannot natively play Flash, rooted or not.

What kind of quality are you guys getting with Chromecast? I was considering buying one so that I don't need to keep taking videos from my phone to my laptop to play on the TV, but I'm a little hesitant with devices like this because of a very, very bad experience with Apple TV.
I've been using AllCast with my Roku3 and it's awesome. I'm assuming it is the same concept. I'll have to check out Avia.
This is basically the whole reason I bought a Chromecast was for when I travel, I can just plug in the Chromecast and send movies to the in-room TV along with Netflix and such. I'm tired of watching movies and shows that I pay for on a 7" screen when there is a 42" TV just 10' away. Glad that I can finally start using it now that development is picking up.
All I need is:
Netflix
Hulu
Play videos off my mobile

As long as you stay within the Chromecast's limits and your network's limits, looks good. My TV says Chromecast is feeding it 1080p.
Played Taken 2 via HBO GO and it looked great.

Well, then, if it plays HBO Go that well, I wouldn't imagine it'll have any issues with Netflix or a video on the device itself.

On-device is subject to Chromecast's format restrictions.
Remember that HBO GO, YouTube, Netflix, etc already have and serve their content in Chromecast-compatible format.

Well it may not be quite as easy as all that depending on the Hotel and how they have their network AUTH set up.
Many set up AP Isolation so two devices on the network can't talk to each other....
In some cases it will require Certificate Auth (such as going to a web browser first) which is not going to be very conducive to connecting the Chromecast.
Miracast makes a direct connection but that might preclude you from connecting to the Hotel AP for content on the Web...
Just a forewarning...
