No. The "Instant Queue" is simply a list of movies (from those in the
Watch Instantly category) which you have indicated you wish to watch.
You put the movies on this list when you are on the Netflix site, and
then the same list is displayed in a gallery in the Roku player. You
select a movie from the Gallery with the Roku remote control, and then
the movie is streamed live to the Roku player and your television. These
movies are not downloaded to your computer or to the Roku player.
