I love Netflix! I also used to have the 2 at a time DVD account, as my old computer wouldn't stream any videos. Now that I have a wonderful new big-screen fast computer, I downgraded to 1 DVD and streaming. I don't really care to watch DVD's much anymore either, but since so much of their stuff is still only available on DVD, I kept it.

I've been looking for a really good romance / love story to watch and can't seem to find something really good. Not a romantic comedy type...a good drama, tear-jerker love story is what I want.

I don't know what you like, JG? I know I had fun watching the first 2 seasons of the old series Fame that was on TV in the 80's.

I enjoyed Walk the Line if you haven't already seen it, sort of a love story.

PS can someone change the spelling in the title. Thanx.

How about when people (e.g. expats in the US) rip off things they'd love to pay for but can't? (Let's say, last night's Eastenders using BitTorrent).

I've found that not having cable or broadcast TV in an attempt to limit the trash does FA when you have netflix and a good internet connection.

That said, there is some good stuff although I find I always want the stuff that is still only on DVD.

Mythbusters
Top Gear
Dirty Jobs
Show about the 2008 Iditarod
Top Sniper
Wife just started Heroes and Gray's Anatomy
King of the Hill
Futurama
Little Britain
Catherine Tate
Dhani Jones
Battlefield detectives
Bizarre Foods
Vermillion Pleasure Night
Wreckreation Nation
Dead Like Me
The Office
Billy the Exterminator (God help me)
Pawn Stars
American Pickers
My Name is Earl
30 Rock
Cake Boss

All kinds of documentaries.

Yes, I highly recommend 'Nurse Jackie' and 'The Big C'

Both are excellent series and I'm so looking forward to the third season of Nurse Jackie and the second season of The Big C. Both are on Showtime btw.

I can't do streaming. I require closed caption to watch television and can't do that on the computer. I use FIOS On-Demand quite often and am very happy with it. I am enjoying the new Harry's Law series on NBC which is Monday nights at 10 but I also like Castle which is on at the same time on ABC. So I watch one that evening and then on the weekend watch the other via On Demand.

Yes, a remake.

The first series wasn't bad - a good updating of the original. The second series lost its way entirely and hence it was canned with no third series.

WARPed

Some have been mentioned before, all are streamed:

Comedy
The IT Crowd
Vicar of Dibley

SciFi
Battlestar Galactica (watching now)
Dr Who
Firefly
X-Files

Drama
Lost (season 6 is on DVD)

Netflix have started to add that as an option on a few things, they say that there whole catalog will have it in the not too distant future.

Blockbuster mainly contributed to its own death by its customer unfriendly practices.

Netflix is currently in a the opening salvos of a battle with the cable companies, who monopolize the pipe. It'll be interesting to see if it can survive with its current VOD model since this is cutting into cable company profit from providing content, and they want their slice back.

I'm wondering what the Comcast/NBC Universal merger will do for streaming services. My gut feeling is that anything owned by NBC Universal will either be massively delayed to netflix streaming or will not be sold to netflix for streaming at all.

Yep -- the whole net neutrality thing compounded with the best politics money can buy. The cable companies are starting to hemorrhage--the young and the tech-savvy no longer subscribe to their overpriced model.

'Lost'. Didn't watch a minute of it when it was on the telly and now I'm hooked.
