Re: Netflix
I have a general question about Netflix. My husband works in LA most of the time while I stay home in Phoenix. He's recently become interested in watching the Spartacus Starz series, and we noticed he can access my account from LA, and I can access my account from Phoenix, and we can both watch different things on Netflix streaming, at the same time. Does Netflix care, or will they find out and stop it somehow?

Re: Netflix
Wow, first world problems!
Basically, I see the situation like this. The content providers/cable companies are seeing a huge exodus of people from cable TV. To protect their revenue steam they are putting pressure on Netflix to pay more in licensing rights. Netflix is over a barrel.
Still pretty good value in my opinion. We dropped cable TV a while back and haven't looked back, we'll probably keep both.

Re: Netflix
Actually they do care and they will cancel your account if you constantly break their TOS. You may not be breaking them and I don't know how it works with streaming only plans but right now if you are on one of the unlimited disc plans that includes streaming you are only allowed to concurrently stream the amount of discs your plan is for. So if you are on a 1 disc at a time plan, you can only stream to one device at a time. If you are on a 3 disc plan, you can stream up to 3 devices concurrently.
We've only done this a couple of times, so hopefully won't be an issue. I'll have to remember to check with him (or him with me) in the future.

Re: Netflix
LMFAO!!!! I forgot about that. I really enjoyed that film
No kidding. Remember when we used to have to go to the store. And pick something from the dregs that were left on the shelf. And then take it back to the store. good times

Re: Netflix
My mistake, it was TW who had a stake in the shares...and I didn't say owned outright, just that they had shares.

Re: Netflix
Sorry to nit pick but that link doesn't detail TW's share ownership in Netflix. All it talks about is NBC's licensing deal which is similar to deals Netflix has to make with all content holders it wants to distribute and is the reason why subscription costs are rising (my original point). Can't be many shares otherwise I would think they would be listed.
