Not sure. Just trying out Amazon Prime, and mostly looking at the free stuff. I don’t watch tv shows, so I can’t really help you there. They have lots of free movies, and you can pay to view a lot of premium movies for a few bucks if you don’t feel like schlepping to redbox. Their movie selection is definitely better than Netflix, at least in the classic department.
I’m really rethinking Netflix, not because of the price hike as much as they just reneged on a promise to make subtitles available on Roku. I just bought the top-end Roku a few months ago, only to find out that I will never get the subtitles I was promised, but have to buy a new “Roku 2” to get them.
I tried to watch a bunch of older British shows, including All Creatures Great and Small, and I gave up because I was missing so much dialogue.
