Damn!! I knew this was coming. It sounds like it's just for simultaneous streaming, correct? If one of my kids is streaming a movie it will be fine, as long as it's the only one streaming at that time?

I'm a little confused. We do that now. In my household it's possible to have my son stream on the tv while my daughter streams from the laptop plus me streaming from my tablet. Does this mean Netflix will end this and force me to pay another subscription price so all three of us can watch at the same time?
Correct.
Each account will equal 1 stream anywhere. You get a "family account" for more streams?

This has been their rule all along, but they never enforced it. When the DVD and streaming was combined, the number of devices allowed to stream at once was equal to your DVD plan. 1 out at a time plan = 1 device streaming at a time.

Well that sucks. Like the previous poster, my daughter would stream on her IPOD, I would stream on my t.v. or laptop while she watchers her movie. I did not know nor would ever think that something minimizing streaming was in place. It's all about the money. Well..., I'll keep them until the change and see what happens.
