Netflix Introduces Another Restriction

Following the elimination of its $9.99 per month fee for unlimited streaming and unlimited DVD rentals in July, Netflix has introduced a new restriction for its subscribers - one stream per subscriber. This means that sharing will no longer be possible and streaming customers will have to watch one show at a time - unless they pay more.

Customers interested in watching more than one show at the same time will have to upgrade accordingly - to two-disc plan/two streams, three-disc plan/three streams, etc.

Currently, the two discs out at a time plan is $19.98 per month, the three discs out at a time plan is $23.98, while the four discs out at a time plan is $29.98.

The new restriction was introduced during the Labor Day Weekend.

UPDATE: According to Netflix spokesman Steve Swasey, the restriction was due to an "error". "No Netflix member is limited to less than two concurrent streams," Swasey sent in an email. "A few Netflix members have heard differently from us, which is an error that we are correcting." (Thanks to TIME for the note).
