Netflix is testing a new feature that will allow views to replay certain scenes, either because they have missed something or simply want to watch it again. But some users think the odd instant replay feature is rather distracting. The new feature, which is only noticed by a selected number of Netflix subscribers, automatically appears as a pop-up notification asking if the users want to replay a just-concluded scene.
