boinky 0 #1 August 5, 2008 I'm looking at their 1 movie out $8.99 plan. I'm more interested in their unlimited online program, though, which is included. What can you tell me about it? Good or bad?

McBeth 0 #2 August 5, 2008 That is the plan I'm on. I use the online viewing all the time. Works well, but doesn't have a huge selection. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #3 August 5, 2008 I watch a lot of their view it now movies. I use my wife's laptop and run it through our TV. Works like a champ! The quality is decent, the download is fast and the selection is OK. Its not every movie, but its a lot of movies and a lot of TV shows and the selection is growing every day.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

d_squared431 0 #9 August 5, 2008 Quote I've heard bad stories about the service not being cancelled when requested. When you cancel the service make sure you don't do it toward the start of bill cycle or you get charged. I have had netflicks in the past and have started and stopped the serve a few times. I never had any problems. Overall I thought they had good customer service.TPM Sister#130ONTIG#1 I love vodka.I love vodka cause it rhymes with Tuaca~LisaH You having a clean thought is like billyvance having a clean post.iluvtofly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GogglesnTeeth 6 #10 August 5, 2008 I recently canceled the blockbuster video online service and re-joined Netflix. Love the online viewing, if I only had more time. Netflix is addapting to the changing use of online video, Blockbuster is not. GnTGoggles and Teeth "You fall like a greased safe!!!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bfilarsky 0 #11 August 5, 2008 No complaints about the technical side of the service - it works great! Movie starts playing real quick, and quality is good. Not too happy with the selection, though. Lots of 2nd rate movies with bad actors, although there are a few decent ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boinky 0 #12 August 5, 2008 Hmmm....that's not good. Are there no recent or fairly new movies? Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casie 0 #13 August 5, 2008 we have the same plan and luv it. don't really use the online thing but getting 2 movies for sure a week works for us : )~Porn Kitty WARNING: Goldschlager causes extreme emotional outbursts! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eeneR 1 #14 August 5, 2008 There are some newer movies, but nothing brand spanking new. Movies will come out and be available on DVD before they can be streamed instantly. Hopefully this will change in the near future, however I have managed to find some very interesting stuff to watch on the instant viewing, all while still having the DVD's shipped too! I have enjoyed having netflix, and just noticed they even let you put your account on hold! This is pretty cool and I wish I had noticed it sooner as during summer months I do not watch anywhere near as many movies as I do when the weather sucks. This was also quite good for me as I had a massive backlog of movies I have not seen, heck I am sure there are more that I should see and dont know it yet!

boinky 0 #16 August 5, 2008 $1 + 8.25% tax. PLUS a drive to a local box at roughly $4 a gallon in a truck that gets approximately 13 mpg. AND if you don't have them back by 9 p.m. the following night, they charge you yet ANOTHER $1 + 8.25% tax until you DO return it. I'm very familiar with Redbox and I rent there on a semi-regular basis. My son was fascinated by the whole concept of renting movies out of a little computerized box. But I've had some odd situations come up with them. One time, it wouldn't read my card, so I couldn't rent. Another time, the machine was frozen up and wouldn't work at all. Yet another time, there was nothing there that my son wanted to see (when he's here...it's all about him!) I'm just looking for options that I don't have to rush out and return them by a particular time/day. Oh...and the movies come to me without my ever having to leave my driveway!
