I want a satellite reciever box that includes a hard drive, and allows me to stream a movie to my TV for a small fee. Kinda like Xbox Live. That would be worth paying for. And im not talking about pay-per-view; those movies are months old anyway.

Sounds pretty bitchin', but that 'small fee' isn't going to work. You know they'll charge an arm and a chicken leg.

Been a loyal Netflix subscriber for over 2 years now and haven't had a single problem with them. Personally I have had no problems in the time it takes to get a new DVD, for instance if I put my watched movies in the mail on Monday then I normally recieve my new ones on Wednesday. I don't know if that has anything to do with where I live (Fredricksburg, VA) but that's a great turn-around in my opinion. The only issue I have is that new DVD's seem to be so popular that you'll be waiting a bit to get them, but that's a same for brick-n-mortor stores.

M4D,

I live in Brooklyn, New York and the turn around for Nflix is great here too. But like you said the New Release thing can be frustrating. I've used Nflix off on for a few years now and I have to say Bbuster is the best when it comes to New Releases, both online and in-store. But I hope Nflix turn things around, that video-on-demand thing needs a better movie selection.

Check the Redbox website to see if there is a location in your state. Here in Las Vegas I can get new releases around 11P.M. because the ones that were check out have to be returned by 9 P.M.

New Dvds are only $1.00 each

Looks like the competition maybe getting to Netflix thats why they are altering. Never used either service so dont know. prefer going to the video shop myself :)

I've had Netflix from almost the beginning, and have never had any problems with them. Never tried the Blockbuster service, but competition will only keep them on their toes.

I'm usually happy with Netflix, but I can't rent a Blu-ray disc to save my life. They need to increase their stock. I got Dreamgirls and Stir of Echoes BD, but forget POTC2 or Bridge to Terabithia. I know they are popular titles, but it's getting ridiculous. I tried BB Online's free trial, but they were worse, except they didn't have a lot of DVD titles I wanted. I might just rent BDs at Blockbuster brick and mortar.

I do like the new streaming movie feature. It's nice to preview a movie before I rent the disc. The only thing is I have to boot up in Windows to do it (I'm on a Macbook).

I have been using netflix for several years. I have never had a problem with them. Only an occasional defective DVD which they replace fast. The only problem i have is that new relased movies usually take a while to be shipped , short and sometimes long wait.
But overall i like them.

I just hope that Blockbuster goes down in flames for all the times I had to pay that pissy late charge for getting a VHS tape back 15 minutes late.

LONG LIVE NEtFLIX!

I am new to this website for posting but thought this might be helpful!! Here is the trick to getting the New Releases from Netflix. The new releases are released on Tuesdays. What you need to do is make sure you put your DVD's in the mail on Friday or Saturday before the date of a new release you want. They receive your rented DVD's on Monday morning first thing. So, if your new releases (still with the release date by the title of the movie in your que)are at the very top, 99% of the time, you will get that new release for Monday shipping and receive the new releasing movie for the release date on Tuesday. I have been with them for about 2 years now and figured that out after being frustrated to wait on the new releases. I have shared this tip with a few of my friends and they are getting the same results. So good lucky everyone! Hope this helps.

Sorry, but I've very unhappy with they way NetFlix will hold disks. I returned 2 disks on a Sat (B4 sort) to their main P.O. and it would have been in their P.O. Box on Mon. AM waiting but it's now Wed afternoon and they still have not credited my account with the return(after 3 days?). I emailed them and then called, they said they were sent to another P.O.(60 mi away) and they shouldn't have left "that" building. Some kind of delay always happens, every week. The best I can do is 1 exchange per week even dropping it in there own P.O. I've had them about 2 years and it just keeps getting worse.
