Netflix on i.TV–100k DVDs now for rent via the iPhone

Justin

An update to i.TV was just released in the iTunes App Store and we think you’re gonna like it!

Here’s what is new with this update:

NETFLIX

  • Search results now include over 100,000 DVD titles from Netflix, in addition to TV programs, in-theater movies and detailed show information and cast lists.
  • Discover Netflix DVD titles by tapping the ‘Watch’ button from any TV or movie details screen.
  • Easily reorder or delete items in your Netflix queue from within the My Media tab.
  • Add movies and TV episodes to your Netflix instant watching queue, allowing you to instantly stream content to your Windows PC, Xbox 360, Roku box, TiVo® Series3, TiVo HD, or TiVo HD XL digital video recorders and select Blu-Ray players. (Mac support by end of 2008).
Also new in this release: WIKIPEDIA
  • Wikipedia articles now linked to most show, movie and actor screens.
Some of you are already spending hours flicking through celebrity and show info. Well, now you have an excuse to spend EVEN MORE time!

 

In addition to these new features, we have been hard at working making other improvements.

 

TV Listings Improvements:
  • Many new TV service providers added
  • Over The Air digital sub channels now available
  • Indicator when a show is NEW
  • Display option to show only NEW programming

Movie and Theater Improvements:

  • Movies can be displayed alphabetically, by star rating, by content rating, and now by location.
  • Use device location services to find movies and theaters near your current location.
  • Movie and theater data is now separate from TV listing data, allowing you to specify a different location for your theater and movie listings.
  • Trailer quality improvements

Misc. Improvements:

  • Reviews now easier to navigate
  • Simplified account creation
  • Bug fixes and performance improvements

Thank you again for all of your support and feedback. We plan to release a bunch of new features next month as well, so keep watching…

    Just FYI, there's already Mac support for Netflix – they released that a couple weeks ago.

    Any way you can add Blockbuster Online support?

  • Chris

    I notice in this blog post that you say you can add TV shoes and movies from Netflix's instant library into your Instant Queue via i.TV? How do you do this? The only option I see when searching for movies is that it adds them to your DVD/Blu-Ray queue. Am I missing something?

    THANKS!

    Hi Zague

  • mediamyway

    Chris–Go to My Media > Netflix Queue and then notice at the top there are two toggle buttons. One says “Disc” the other “Instant”. Tap on instant and you SHOULD see your Instant viewing titles there. Let us know if this isn't the case by writing our support team. Here's the link: http://i.tv/support/

    Thanks for writing!

    I am trying to decide between netflix or blockbuster online for movie rentals by mail. Please tell me reasons why or why not one is better than the other. The only prices i have seen are blockbuster total access 3 movies at a time is $25 a month compared to netflix $18 a month 3 movies at a time. Do both places have movies available the tuesday they come out?

    the capability to search and find movies available for instant queue would be priceless (as of now, my testing with your update appears to indicate that there is no way to limit the search to instant movies only).
