Who's got it and what do you think of it? What is there in the way of competition?
The kids love Netflix. They watch it on the IPad, on the computers and on the Wii thats connected to the big screen. I’m waiting for season 6 of Weeds to come out.
You can stream unlimited videos for $1/month from that little box?
Great service, you can even do your You Tube stuff through it for better sound. It comes with Pandora too, and you can create your own music ‘stations’. Which means I can get great old gospel, and hubby can get his favorites.
Easy to use, there is the instant play that downloads to your TV, or the ones they have to send you. Service is fast, you return it in the same envelope it comes in. No postage.
It learns your taste and recommends movies you might like to watch that you forgot about.
We watched the original The Day the Earth Stood Still the other night on the instant download.
They’ve put up a ton of older content, but there is not as much as you’d think when it comes to moves from the past decade.
That’s not all bad, though, because most movies of the past decade have sux0red.
Oddly enough, my kids like history stuff and Dr. Who, as well. The kids aren’t the problem; it’s the “adults” who are glued to the tube.
You are one of the lucky ones! I just got one for Christmas . . . not that I’m complaining though.
I’m off to see just how good it is. Thanks!
I love it! I just purchased two Blue Ray DVD’s with Netflix capability — all I have to do is figure out how to hook them up and I won’t even have to mail DVD’s back and forth,
