crimson phoenix (Princeton plainsbourogh, Hospital) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Boston Legal Season 5 (Amazon Instant Video)
i just finished watching smoke signals, it ran very well. a few minor skips but otherwise great. i think the quality of the video depends on the users internet speed. if its adequate enough it will run fine.

This review is from: Boston Legal Season 5 (Amazon Instant Video)
I just purchased and downloaded a show in less than 3 minutes before it was ready to watch. So I am very happy with the new TV pass. I started to watch it online but I am on the go so much it makes more sense for me to download shows for later and away from home on my laptop. The video is terrific quality, very clear and sharp with great sound. I love this it is ready when I can watch it!

This review is from: Boston Legal Season 5 (Amazon Instant Video)
TV Pass? Does it work for you? I tried it twice and sat and waited and waited and waited. Try finding Amazon help? Good luck. Heard this was an excellent episode of "Boston Legal" - guess I will wait until it comes out on dvd and then purchase it from - NOT Amazon!
