I just switched from Blockbuster for DVD & BluRay discs to NetFlix to get more streaming titles. I stupidly thought they had their entire catalog available for streaming...little did I know that maybe only 5% of their catalog can be streamed. I’ve got the one-disc at a time option, too.
We’ve been Amazon Prime subscribers from long before they tossed in free video streaming. We bought Prime to save on shipping fees, so the video streaming was a bonus. The content library is just so-so. The UI is just plain awful and clunky.
My favorite is Apple TV — best encoding quality, best UI. But buying TV seasons for $20 to $40 is a killer. Also, I ran out of storage space on my 5 year old MacBook Pro, so had to offload already-watched videos to an external 1 TB drive. I use TuneSpan for that. It is a SUPER utility that seamlessly splits your iTunes library across multiple drives.
A good friend is an exec at Roku, but I don’t have their box yet. I’ve got streaming on the Panny TV, on the BluRay player, on the Tivo, and on the Apple TV. Really don’t need another streaming device.
The UI is just plain awful and clunky.
