I think it's a US company.
Has or does anyone here use them?

It's movies on demand.
They are just starting up over in the UK.
It's just £5.99 a month.
We are really tempted.

We've been using it for about a year and love it. We stream tv shows and videos all the time, and send for dvd's too.

we like it, too.

we recently upgraded to the mail order. we weren't sure due to the price but it gets to them in 1 day and they mail back immediately. we get 6 movies a month plus the ones that stream.

most of the time i watch shows and Henry loves the old Spiderman cartoons. I am HOOKED on Battle Star Galactica! It's so frackin' good :)

i don' get cable in my scrap room so i watch it in there a lot, too.

I've had netflix for 7+ years, as a long term subscriber I was upset with pricing for mail away and streaming split- we used to get both for much cheaper.

I find I don't do the through the mail option very much either...

I love Netflix and use the instant streaming a ton. I've used it for years.
It's the only way I watch TV shows these days. I just realized they have Felicity, so I've been re-watching that. :)

Thanks for this. Great to hear.

Hubs has found out that there's about of a problem with us streaming it or something and it's not quite set up yet the same way that you receive it in the States, but we could buy some box that can do that.
He has however just called me into the family room whilst I was typing the above and we now have a months free trial and it's going through the playstation 3 :)
Cool!!

I can't believe everything that's on there.

we've had it for quite a few years and really like it. we mostly stream now, well, my husband and kids mostly stream now, i rarely watch TV. i should watch it while i'm scrapping, but find it distracting.

Yep, I'm another Netflix lover. I've been trying to get the boy to give up the discs, since it's hard to actually plan a night to watch it, but so far I haven't made any headway. I much prefer the streaming...I can always find something to watch.

Wow that's one heck of a cable bill, hope that includes high speed internet as well.
