Netflix

hi, not sure what section this should be in.
basically, i have google it, and getting conflicing information about how many simultaneous streams you can have. some say it depends on what package you take out (1 dvd = 1 stream, 2 dvd = 2 streams.....up to 6 streams) others say its 6 streams no matter what. but on their site it says :

Can I really watch instantly on any of these devices?
Yes, you can watch on as many of these devices as you want. You can only watch on one at a time.

so, which is it? most of the google results are dating 2008-2010, so have they changed their policy to 1 stream at a time?

thanks in advance.

I've only had 4 streams going at once on different devices (home PC, Android, downstairs TV, upstairs TV). I wasn't never aware there was a limit, and it isn't something Netflix has told me. I do know that due to application limits, you can only get one stream on any one device at a time.

How many streams do you need at one time? Are you sharing with all your family/friends also?

i have my HTPC in the front room, my mac in the bedroom and the laptop the kids use, so would probably only need 2, maybe 3 streams at once.
