pretty sure HBO never had any shows on Netflix streaming... In fact, HBO shows are pretty much the only reason I still use Netflix for bluray/dvd. I use it for 99% streaming.

Also, I'm wondering if Amazon will step up its game to try to cut into some of the market on streaming... they have some stuff now on Prime, but it's pretty limited.

 

Sorry, I must have been thinking of Showtime.

 

I read a few months ago that Netflix signed deals with a few studios to allow them to stream movies immediately after the DVD is released instead of waiting the usual ~2 months~, so there will be more titles available to watch instantly.

I was paying $2 for Blue-Ray DVD service even though I hardly used it...was cheap enough to keep for convenience. It's not worth the new $9 price though. I'll keep the streaming service - $8 bucks is cheap for what they offer.

 

I rather like the streaming videos...if they had a better selection I'd go streaming only.

Yeah, Showtime has a lot of stuff on netflix...Dexter ftw!

 

I was cool with paying for my netflix and cable till I got my notice for an increase in my subscription fee's.. Back to torrents I go :/

 

torrents FTW!
I got a unit called argosy. Plays all kinds of video formats. Just plug in my drive, browse, click, and watch.

 

I grow more fearful of the legal ramifications of torrenting on a daily basis. I've got all the measures in place other than IP spoofing...but I still wonder if the feds are gonna come knocking

 

For me personally, as a professional with a decent job and the funds to pay for my shit, I don't think the risk is worth it.
