Netflix will stream NBC Universal shows to computers and iPhones almost instantly, including popular shows such as “SNL,” “30 Rock,” “The Office,” USA Network shows and SyFy shows.

Among the highlights, Netflix members will be able to instantly watch:

• Episodes from every season of NBC’s signature comedy franchise “Saturday Night Live,” including day-after broadcast of the upcoming 2010, 2011 and 2012 seasons plus hundreds of episodes from the first 35 years of “SNL.”
• Every episode from the last season of the multiple Emmy Award-winning series “30 Rock,” “The Office” and “Law & Order: SVU,” as well as earlier seasons of those shows renewed for streaming from Netflix under the current deal.
• All prior seasons – and eventually next year’s final season – of “Friday Night Lights,” the small-town drama surrounding high-school football in Dillon, Tex.
• All prior seasons of USA Network hits “Psych,” the comedy featuring James Roday as a fake psychic who solves crimes with his best friend, Dule Hill; the drama “In Plain Sight,” starring Mary McCormack as a U.S. Marshal in New Mexico; as well as all seasons of ”Monk,” starring Emmy Award and Golden Globe Award winner Tony Shalhoub in the title role.  Prior seasons of all three shows are available to watch instantly at Netflix for the first time.
• More than 75 prior season episodes of Syfy’s mainstay “Battlestar Galactica,” as well as prior seasons of the network’s popular series’ “Destination Truth” and “Eureka.”

Netflix recently announced a deal with EPIX for streaming of titles from EPIX from Paramount, Lionsgate and MGM titles.

Netflix was one of the first video viewing apps on the iPad.  Netflix launched a free streaming iPhone/iPod app in August.  We expect other mobile viewing apps to follow.

The Netflix App supports any iPhone or iPod touch device running iOS version 3.13 or later.  Membership plans start at .99 a month.

Android Tablets? Check. Android Smartphones? Check. Android TVs? Check… Wait what? Yes, you read that correctly. Electronics giant TCL announced the first Chinese TV to integrate Android. Apparently TCL has been working on the TV since 2008 and they view the final product as a total success.

Not only can you connect the TV to the internet, you get Video On Demand, chat, online purchasing, view online TV sites, Android apps, and the TV can be controlled via your Android-powered device.

No word on when it will make it into Chinese customers hands or if it will come the US. (or anywhere else for that matter)

A survey of 18 US cities conducted by the technology website PCMag.com found that Sprint’s 3G data network – used for services other than voice calls, such as Internet browsing and texting – delivered better overall performance in Boston than the networks of its three main rivals: AT&T Inc., Verizon Wireless, and T-Mobile USA.

But the survey showed a very different result for the rest of the country, where despite months of relentless criticism about dropped calls and sluggish 3G performance, AT&T was ranked number one.
