Netflix Change...

Relative to a year or two ago, the streaming selection has increased exponentially. I don't think I've watched an actual DVD for a month or so.

But yeah the sudden increase does suck.

I really like the streaming but the shows we really want to see are not there (yet?). I also like the first-run DVDs so we can see stuff at home and not have to wait ages...

I am sure that they are trying to expand their catalog, but I have been waiting a long time...

I can use my Roku box to download from other sources -- may have to give Amazon a try...

We use Redbox for all the stuff we really want to see. I can even reserve the movies. There's two of those machines within just a couple miles, so it makes it really cheap, easy and convenient. Even if we forget to return it the next day it still only costs 2 bucks. Way cheaper than the $5.00 and $8.00 titles available on the tv.
