Canada's version of Netflix lacks the DVD/Blu-Ray home delivery component. You are only able to stream to a game console (Wii, PS3, Xbox) or your PC. There are set top solutions available from other manufacturers such as Seagate's GoFlex. But as of this writing none work. There are some network capable Samsung TV's and Blu-Ray players that are announcing a firmware update to allow direct streaming from Netflix.ca without a game console. And finally, you Apple folk can sign up with a litany of devices (iPhone, iPad, AppleTV).
What you miss by not having access to the DVD/Blu-Ray delivery method is the newer and seemingly more popular titles (read: expensive to license). But to paraphrase from the great Shawn McCarthy "I've never had trouble finding something to watch". The selection is well categorized and offers selections based on your previously viewed content as well as in response to an optional likes/dislikes survey you fill out when you sign up. The interface is uncluttered and easy to navigate with the Wii remote. Your selection will begin to play in just a few seconds, even the HD titles. You can pause or stop playback and resume at any time. And if you miss anything, rewind and fast forward presents you with screen shots to reduce the guessing as to where to stop.
To give you an idea of the available selection, imagine going in to Blockbuster and only being allowed to select movies from the "middle" of the store. You are not allowed to look along the walls at the new releases. Unless you pay extra. Extra meaning you spend 120.00 on Apple TV and 4 bucks to see a movie, or 99 cents to watch a TV show.
I hope Netflix works hard on growing and rotating their selection. But as it is, the value is definitely there. I recommend it.
