Anyone have Netflix thru their xBox?

Hubby and I decided to try out the Free Promo for Netflix which is unlimited viewing 1 month free.


Now Hubby has x Box gold--which allows him to stream ESPN.


Now my question is DOES netflix REALLY mean UNLIMITED viewing or is it a certain number a night.


I am basically watching netflix during the night as my entertainment. I might start at 8pm and watch until 3am or later. Some times my hubby and I will watch something before he goes to work so we start viewing at 6pm.

Now here is what I run into...I'm watching several episodes of the Tudors a night right now. After several hours viewing is interrupted saying we need xbox GOLd to watch Netflixs and as I said above we do have xbox gold.

This is happening so often that my husband is thinking of canceling the service. It isn't worth it if we can't watch what we want when we want especially when it says unlimited viewing.

Now my husband can watch ESPN hours on end. During a couple says off he basically spent one day off watching soccer matches all day long and into the night never got disconnected.

So has anyone else had this issue or situation come up?

Sometimes, don't ask me how or why, one ID will get signed out and another, not a gold XBox id will get signed in.

3. If it happens again, try signing out, then back in.

That may help. It also may be an issue with Netflix. We have had some issues ever since the last two upgrades.

My account is always up to date but for some reason, this appears and I can't watch for awhile. It seems to be a quirk and fixes itself.
