Netflix on PS3 problems

admin — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 19:20:41 +0000

I’ve been streaming Netflix on my PS3 since Netflix distributed the discs. It’s been the form of ‘television’ entertainment I enjoy most but lately I’ve been experiencing problems with my Playstation.

For some reason the ethernet port no longer works on my PS3. This could be a mechanical issue related to lightning, product failure or something else however the wireless function works so I pick up our network wirelessly and all was well.

Recently when I load the Netflix disc, the screen remains black for a longer than normal time. The PS3 is lagging terribly. If I eject the disc, the PS3 is bogged down and takes an inordinate amount of time returning to it’s home screen. Without a restart the PS3 barely functions.

In lieu of streaming on PS3 we just switch to the Wii which also connects wirelessly but does not lag, does not fail and works just fine! I am not talking about a lag in the streaming, I am talking about the Playstation itself no longer responding. Ejecting the disc works but then the PS3 is sooo slow it won’t even load the images on the home screen.

I think the PS3 delivered a cleaner image so I want to know what’s up? No searches resulted in the answer so I’m documenting our problem today.

I am a huge fan of Netflix and my PS3.

huge move, serve this…

wow. I’m so good.
This past weekend I moved all my sites. The move included two Drupal sites, two stand-alone WordPress sites and one large multi-site WordPress MU site.
As of this morning all DNS updates are established and all the sites seem to be working! I can hardly believe it.
For some reason DNS actually took 12 hours on the MU domains. It was unnerving waiting for them to update.
I’m so happy. Now for the big changes.

Happy Birthday to wkp.us

This website as a WordPress blog is now 1 year old. Hoorah and Happy Birthday.

btw: We moved and now we are just an ID number on a list of wpmu subdomain blogs, but we’re mapped nicely, aren’t we! It’s so sweet being one.
