Storage my man. If I can stream it great, if not I let my fingers wander over to btjunkie and snag what I want. Worked great the other day when I decided I wanted to see mr baseball and it was dvd only.

I actually don't have much of a problem with the video quality when streaming. There have only been a hand full of movies that I've had to stop because I couldn't stand how crappy the picture/sound was. I guess it's entirely possible that I'm not too picky about the quality either.
![]() I watched season's 1-5 of Weeds instantly down to my 1080i TV and all 5 seasons were in HD. Sure, the quality wasn't as good as an NFL football game but it was plenty good enough for me. Unfortunately, not all of the instant selections are in HD either. I upgraded my DSL from 1.5MB to 3.0MB and I noticed the quality of the movies from Netflix going up. The quality I get at home on 3MB is the same as I get at the office on 35MB. Overall, I'm very happy with the service. If the kids are cranky, I can pull up netflix on the TV and find a kids movie to immediately occupy them.

Cuz its 8$ a month, and gives me plenty of shows and documentaries I enjoy on demand, without the hassle of storing them. I can watch them as many times as i'd like, and its also perfectly legal.

It's hard to find some of these older ones they have on netflix on torrents as well. It's much easier to use netflix for a lot of this stuff and it's worth the price.

I have over 1,000 movies, plenty in HD, on a 1.5TB HDD that I paid $90 for... with room to go... One search, a few clicks, and I have any movie I want... There's only ONE movie I haven't been able to find on torrents (Best in Show)... I download 10-20 at a time and in a couple of days (max) they are all there... I dunno, you guys still haven't sold me. |

The question I have is why people are willing to pay upwards of $100 for cable/satellite when there are so many streaming options? Almost everything I want to watch can be found on the net. Hulu, Netflix, Boxee, VuDu, the Networks, etc it's all there. There are tons of devices for streaming, including the TVs themselves. Most are WiFi and I contend that the picture quality is at least as good as regular cable and getting better everyday imho. |

We were not talking about movies. Movies are stupid simple to find for the most part. We were talking about TV shows and Netflix has a very wide range of new and old shows. 1.5 TB ain't shit anymore, especially with the size of blu ray movies. Let me know when you get over 10. |
