Netflix / Wii

A few days ago, I got an email from Netflix letting me know they are now doing streaming / instant viewing through Wii. Instead of just watching on my computer, I can now watch any of their "instant view" right on my tv, through the Wii.

I clicked to get the free disc, and it arrived today. And now I have another way to view tons of Doctor Who episodes for free (well, since I have the service that is).

Has anyone else tried this, and if so, what has your experience been?
 
I stream Netflix through my TiVo. If the Wii experience is similar, it's great. And the quality of the Doctor Who content is pretty high.
 
I've been doing it with my PS3 for quite a while, and that is actually how I got caught up on all the Doctor Who episodes before the specials came out.
 
My only issue with the DOCTOR WHO streams is the classic stories-they seem to come mainly from either the old VHS or PBS broadcast copies of the stories, and hence are kind of grainy compared to the restored DVDs.


Most of the new series and Torchwood looks decent, though.
