Does anyone besides me use this? I only got it so I could watch movies on my wii but at $10 per month it's a much better deal than cable. I've been watching movies and tv shows I haven't seen in years and some of the shows you can watch instantly aren't even on DVD yet. For example i've been watching the old bill and ted cartoons.

Ehhh it just became available here in Canada a few weeks ago. I have a friend who is thinking of getting it, I don't think I will bother though. I'm kinda a pirate myself so I just torrent any movie I want to watch.

Yeah we have a subscription for it. I'm a pirate myself, although for music. I watch my movies on Youtube, if they're there.

I like watching movies on an actual TV screen, and not pirated stuff on my smaller computer monitor. So I quite enjoy Netflix DVDs.
I believe in what I want to believe in, you believe in what you want to believe in, so when someone wants to believe in something, no one will know what to believe!

I just use Hulu desktop. Not only is it free, but it actually has a good number of shows and movies that aren't super old. I highly recommend it to those who don't have it yet. Its even better if you have a TV tuner.

Tv.Blinkx or watchfreemoviesonline. Or youtube if I am desperate enough. But I get free movie passes at Harkens, so usually I've seen what I want to watch by the time it comes out.

While there's little chance of this happening, I think it'd be interesting if Satam somehow became available on Netflix. While Netflix definitely has some widely-viewed, popular shows on their network, there also some small, but unique ones that are there because they're cheap and have potential to help them make money.

Netflix is definitely a better deal than cable now that they've got the whole unlimited streaming thing. I always thought it was a very clever cheat with the original concept.
"All the movies you can watch via mail for only $10 a month!" and it takes, what, 4 days to a week for a new movie to come in the mail? And that's just assuming you're able to watch the movies the same day you get them then send'em back the next day, which for many many people would never be the case. So it'd still seem like a deal but really you'd probably be paying 2.50 - 3.00 for the rental instead of the $1 or so you'd spend if you stopped off at the local video store.
Also technically that's more than 3 DVDs pacmancdi, because the SatAM set has 4 lol.

Netfilx is wonderful! Hook my laptop up to the TV, hit play, enjoy! We quit our cable service because between Netflix, youtube, and other sights you can find just about what you want to watch for $13.00 (two DVD plan) instead of like $70 a month. Well worth it!
No...Netflix hasn't done SatAM yet...but the funny thing is I saw SatAM in Redbox the other day.
