Just one day before Apple was expected to announce online movie rentals through iTunes, Netflix announced yesterday that it is lifting caps for online viewing of movies. Netflix had been experimenting with making its online movie service unlimited with a few users. Apple is supposed to make some major announcements about its new online movie rental service. Unlimited viewing will start tomorrow, doing away with its quota/hours system for Netflix subscribers based on their pricing tier-level. Only the lowest tier of Netflix customers who pay $4.99 to rent up to two DVDs per month won’t be provided unlimited access to the streaming service. For now, the online streaming library has more than 6,000 titles, small compared to the overall 90,000 titles in its DVD collection. Netflix had been experimenting with the unlimited viewing service with select subscribers for a month now. This unlimited streaming option would become more relevant after Netflix-LG branded set-top TV box launches later this year...the plans for it were announced start of this month.http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-netflix-makes-its-unlimited-online-movie-viewing-official-day-before-ap/
