What is Netflix Working on?

I think Netflix might be up too something. For the second time in a week I have received a large number of sample / test looking feed updates about sample movies and tv series being added to streaming selections.

Yesterday when I fired up my Google Reader to my surprise my new feed count was at 1000+ unread messages. After digging a little deeper I found that Netflix had ran what looks like some kind of test. When I finally scrolled through the entire list I found that only one new movie had actually been added to the instant streaming lineup and that was a title called The Six Wives of Henry Lefay staring none other than Tim Allen.

I was a little disappointed because I always love to see new titles added to Netflix’s streaming lineup.  That is ones that are not cheesy…

What could Netflix be up too?

…testing new RSS feed system.

…testign a new database entry system.

…getting ready to announce a large number of new shows and movies being added.

…adding series currently airing shows the day after.

…adding more popular titles and series.

Only time will tell. So for now I guess we will have to wait and see.

The more great titles that are coming available through Neflix, and after checking out Hulu I am more seriously contemplating cutting cable like Tyler Stanton did on his recent series here and here. We will see…

Do you use Neflix or Hulu Plus? Do you still have cable?

    Maybe they are just really, REALLY excited about The Six Wives of Henry Lefay?

    Netflix just came to Canada last September. It is still has a long way to go with its selection but they are adding new stuff all the time.

    In regards to cutting cable, we did it last fall. We found that we could watch all our shows online (for free) and we use Netflix to watch other stuff when we are bored.
