Yeah, before I suspended Netflix, I had a hard time finding a lot of things on instant. They have some neat stuff on there, but it's really hit or miss what they have available at any time. And it changes too.

Because they doubled their rates, because they rarely have streaming movies that I want to watch, because we nearly never have time to watch the ones they ship to us. We usually watch one shipped movie a month, if that. I watch maybe four streaming movies a month, if that. My usage is not worth $16. a month. Also, I suspect they fiddle with what is available. I have seen things available streaming that suddenly are no longer available.

I'm going to keep streaming and DVD, but I do get frustrated by what is and is not available for streaming. For example...everything from the new Doctor Who is available for streaming except for ONE FUCKING EPISODE! Really?!

It's all to do with licensing. They'd be thrilled to let you stream their entire collection; it's cheaper for them than maintaining/shipping a DVD collection. It's the movie owners/distributors who don't want their stuff instantly available to anyone, anywhere, anytime they want, for a mere flat fee. Kids' movies especially will be available for a short time, and then removed by the distributor, because they want you to have to go out and buy the DVD now that your kid has seen it and wants to watch it a hundred times in a row.
But I will admit, we use the streaming feature far more than most. More for TV shows than for movies, but either way it's on just about every single day, either for us or the kids. |

In my house we wacth Netflix through our Wii console all day long, every day. It is true that it doesn't have "everything" but I can say that I have never run out of cool things to watch. My instant queue sometimes hits the limit (500 entries).

L&O seasons 1-9 and 13 are available, but not 10-12 and 14-20 on DVD...huh?
I haven't run out of things to watch either...I think I've currently got 30 or 40 things in my queue. Still have to catch up on Doctor Who...might actually be able to watch the new episodes on BBC next month! |

Oooo... Voyager is on Netflix. We never watched the last season as we had basically given up tv at that point.
