Netflix - User Profiles and Super HD

For all of the complaints after that time Netflix was going to split into two services, the company really does offer a low-cost service with very cool features. Many people don’t even know that multiple users can login at the same time, allowing people to share accounts. In my family we have two accounts, but there are often times when four streams are going between here and another remote location. Pretty cool, huh?

Well, even cooler is what’s next. Netflix is currently testing user profiles to allow for more personalization. Imagine, you and your kids/roommates/significant other get your own customized recommendations and movie queues!

If only they could do something about my 200+ (and growing) instant queue list, like beam the movies right into my head so I don’t have to get through 100s of hours of entertainment.

Here are some articles about the new feature:

Side note: I’ve finally taken advantage of Super HD - the quality difference on my Roku 3 at 42” in 1080p is amazing! You can read about the Super HD format here and check to see if your provider offers Super HD by clicking this link.
