During high volume periods they restrict the second stream. I too am wondering what will happen with the stream-only plan - will everyone be restricted to 1 (sometimes 2)? If you also get multi-disc plans will this give you access to additional streams? Is part of the payoff for Netflix here restricting the streams (I think I read somewhere that Netflix accounts for a huge fraction of total band width use, and either that costs Netflix, or someone was thinking of finding a way to charge them, for this). -- TV or Not TV ....
