Can I remove the Instant feature?

I'd like to disable the instant watch feature. We find it's too easy for the kids (adults too, actually) to spend too much time in front of the screen. I would rather make our Netflix viewing not so "instant" but I don't see how to remove the feature. Note: I'm using the Mac beta version. Maybe it has some limitations at the moment?

This is one of the most retarded questions I've ever read on here. Given the reason for why they wanted it disabled.; ▶ Reply to This

Also, like a lot of people have said, it is very simple to put restrictions on your computer and if your kids have their own computers then they will be spending a lot of time in front of the screen anyway.; ▶ Reply to This

And the answer is.... a simple "not at this point in time". Comments about parenting skills are completely unnecessary.; ▶ Reply to This

But what would be the fun in that? It's like a bleeding man jumping into an ocean full of hungry sharks and you want the sharks to just say, "Umm no thank you. Men are friends, not food." :-); ▶ Reply to This
