It sounded strange to me when the Netflix techie told me we had to do it, but on our laptop it was the "fn" key and then F4 (which has a little box graphic in it). We hit it once to get it to display, twice to turn off the laptop screen and just enjoy it via TV. A lot of you probably already knew that, but for those that don't, hope that's helpful.

Yes, that's 30 sec or more you're waiting just to fast forward, but go get a soda or some popcorn to pass those few seconds. It's better than reloading and reloading and reloading. A friend of mine says he's had the best success pushing it forward just before it loads, but that has never worked for me. The real solution will be that Netflix actually gets around to fixing it. Anyone else have suggestions for the fast forward dilemma? As to the fast forwarding problem:

Ran into that little snag trying to watch an anime series.... Only English dubs available.... And "in the works" with Netflix could mean weeks, months, or years. Honestly, it could be tomorrow or next decade, it's always a toss up. ;) Thanks, yes, I forgot to post that.

"In the works" and has been since they started the Instant service.
