... (the early builds of the Netflix app on the Apple TV were not robust, some titles wouldn't play, large queues wouldn't load, etc. turned me off even if the experience has improved), but the Apple TV looks slick. Two annoyances with Netflix on the Apple TV that I am not sure have been fixed:
1. No visual indicator of which TV episodes have been watched.
2. No visual indicator whether you have already started a video until you click play, then an option to resume pops up. Sort of weird. Coupled with problem number 1, makes keeping tack of TV episodes harder than it should be.
Would love to know if Apple has improved either behavior.
Don't know; we're Netflix newbies and only use it to watch a few movies, where it's otherwise easier to remember on your own if you've seen it.
I can say that something with the iPad app, or Netflix service itself isn't always very bright: Last week I began to watch a movie on the iPad, but only as a test. It only played for about 3 seconds. Viewing my account in a browser, it seemed in the list as if the entire movie had been watched.
