Good for TV shows, shit for movies.
Streams are very good quality.

We have it. Loads of really good tv shows to choose from. Very reliable service with good quality streaming. Can't go wrong for the £6 it costs per month.

The UK version is shit, but if you load the Netflix app into Chrome and then combine it with an extension called 'Media Hint' you get access to all the US stuff, which is much more current 
Unless they have closed that loophole somehow, it's been a few weeks since I last used it

I have it.
Also pay a marginal price for unblock-us which gives access to all countries and subsequently a lot more content.
Quality is spot on when streaming to Apple TV. Browser streaming leaves something to be desired, which I believe has something to do with the ancient Silverlight plugin they rely on.

if you have an iPhone, iPad and Macbook Air, can you stream anything from them onto your TV? ie if you download a tv show on your laptop, you can stream that to the TV? presumably needs to be good quality download i guess?

Are we still talking about Netflix here?
I don't know of any way to stream from an iPhone or iPad, except to an Apple TV by AirPlay (which isn't ideal for streaming HD content imo).
Perhaps if they're jailbroken you could find a way to use DLNA, but I dunno...
MBA will work with DLNA if your TV (and router) supports it.

It's not a download service, rather a streaming service so unless you TV supports Netflix then you'll need some device (PC/PS3/Xbox/ATV/Supported Media Player - List of Devices) connected to it that does.
