Netflix question

[jnadelman]

Question about NetFlix. Does it download the whole movie and they you are good to go, or does it stream and you need a constant connection?
I would love to watch on my train commute, but so far both Sprint TV and HBO2Go struggle with keeping a signal. Is NetFlix better?
Also want to watch on airplanes etc where no signal is possible.

Yeah, I am pretty sure it relies on a constant internet connection, unfortunately. Maybe one day they'll implement a feature that will download the video for a temporary time.

Or at least a good internet connectivity on the trains. ;-)

I don't really know of any services (legal) that will let you download a movie for offline viewing.

From my understanding, this will be a feature of the Android movie rentals that was announced the first day of I/O.

samsung media hub downloads the videos to the device to allow offline viewing.

yea. I remember reading it downloads to your phone.

NetflIx def needs internet connection. But even on 3g with like 2 bars it seems to work.

Will what let you do HDMI out? Netflix isn't a requirement.

What i'm asking is this. I don't currently use the mini hdmi port on my evo (haven't purchased the cable) i know there are restrictions on what will and won't output through it. I wanted to know if I have to go to the trouble of using the Mirroring app or if I buy a cable and plug it in then hook it up to the hotel TV if it will display what Netflix is currently playing (on EVO) to the television.

I hope that makes sense.
