Why does Netflix look so bad on my TV?

I mean its all pixelated and stuff, I see that the native resolution or whatever is simply a small part of the screen? is something wrong or does netflix simply look bad?

Only thing I could think of is that maybe Netflix doesn't stream HD? What Video cable do you use with your Xbox?

Get a better/faster connection

Quality video takes a ton of bandwidth

For XBOXLive you need just a tiny bit of bandwidth, for things like Netflix you need a ton

hehe i dont think its my internet! I have 50 meg xfactor19990

What ISP offers 50?

Oh I think I found your problem

They have that powerboost thing or whatever right?

So that means that they can give you shorts bursts of speed but it's unable to be held at a high speed for a long duration

well it boosts to 60, however i get 50 constantly and all 4 bars? Maybe im just too picky? Is there that big of a difference between this and bluray?xfactor19990

Yes there's a big difference but you shouldn't see so much pixelation that it looks like that

I'm the pickiest person out there and I rarely see pixels on mine and I'm full bars, then again I also had my ISP run new wires down my street and through my house for the service so I would know where to troubleshoot

Netflix looks great on my 46 inch Samsung. Standard stuff looks just as good as a DVD or Satilite and HD looks just as good most of the time as HD on Direct TV. But Bluray does look better because of a higher bitrate. So If I watch Netflix on our Home Theater Proejctor that has a 92inch Screen Netflix doesnt look that great on a big screen but Bluray does because of the higher Bitrate.

Actually they do stream HD tv shows and movies, currently they only stream in 720p though. I know some movies now also have 5.1 surround sound. Image quality is usually really nice when im able to watch in HD. Only time i get pixilation is when other family members are hogging up my bandwith.

Right now Neftlix only streams 1080i and 5.1 on the PS3 right now. Xbox 360 Netflix streams 720p as of now.

Some people do not notice that (HD available) are only for select movies. Most of the movies on Netflix do not have HD. It does not matter how fast your connection is if the movie itself does not support HD. You can find this in the movie description and when you're watching the movie. It will have the "HD" right next to the movie bar.
