Netflix!!

I finally got it and it's great. $8.99/month for one movie at a time, and unlimited of many movies online. This is going to help when I go to Czech or Hungary or some other country again where they have limited English, or no English TV stations.

I'm watching a movie right now on my desktop while I'm typing this.

Now you need a big drive and to learn how to convert the DVDs to a lower quality (smaller storage space) mpeg or avi movie, so you can take 'em with you on your laptop...

BTW - we signed up about a year ago, we get 2 at a time w/ no limit for the $9/mo....

im addicted. i do the 2 at a time and i have been averaging 4 dvds per week. i love searching and then adding films to the Que and then forgetting about them

edit: forgetting them, as in, forgetting what i added and then getting surprised as they come.

Netflixtipated. "The condition of having an unwatched movie sitting on your DVD player for weeks as a result of watched too many films of the same genre in too short of a time. Only known cure is to redo your queue or cancel subscription."

fair selection of free movies and a pretty good selection of old tv shows. I'm currently
going through the Miami Vice shows... missed most of these when they on origionally.

surfthechannel.com links hulu in some of the shows i watch. it just links places where the show is shown. they used to have all of the episodes of top gear until about 2 weeks ago, but now they have season 11.
