Streaming experience....
For the first time I tried the On Demand option with my DirecTV. I wasn't planning on leaving the service connected, but only try it to see how well it worked with Gen5. It worked well, but it chew...
Streaming video on a data capped service reminds me of a Bugatti Veyron. The thing will go 253 miles per hour but will burn its entire 26 gallon fuel load in only 19 minutes.
While it is possible, its just not practical.
Just throwing this out there... The Video Data Saver will work with all web-based streams from what I can tell... Netflix, Youtube, Hulu, ESPN, and so on. DTV On Demand and similar don't use a web-based stream to show movies, it's a straight up download of a pre-set size. So test the smart-tv with the video saver function, and make sure you leave Netflix on "Auto"!
