Netflix is using real-time playback technology so a video is viewed at virtually the same time it is delivered to a user's computer. A one-time, one-minute installation of a browser applet and movie can begin playing in your Web browser in just a few seconds.

Subscribers get 1 hour of instant watching for each dollar they spend on Netflix. The hours available for instant watching will vary based on subscribers' monthly plans. Subscribers on Netflix's most popular plan, $17.99 for unlimited DVD rental and three discs out at a time, will have 18 hours of online movie watching per month.
