But how long does it take for the movie to start playing in Media Center (or the PC in general)? Mine has to go through the testing connection, which usually doesn’t take that long, and then it has to go through the buffering, which does take several minutes. The PS3 doesn’t seem to do any buffering at the beginning because when I push play, it says “retrieving”, and it only takes a few seconds before I’m actually watching the movie.

I stream via Netflix’s website. I get the testing connection screen for a couple seconds then buffering for maybe half a minute (I’ll try to check that this evening) before the movie starts. And I’m on a ~1.5Mbps connection. Not super-highspeed.
