Anybody use Netflix?

For example, we watch a movie Sunday. Put it in the mail box Monday. Netflix receives the old movie and mails the new movie on Tuesday. The new movie arrives Wednesday. Can't really be improved on for us.

Ditto ... Drop it in the mail. Receive an e-mail the next day saying they received the movie and the next one will be sent. Next day go to the mailbox and there is the movie. Of course these are not movies they are "educational" shows for the boys.

After doing some googling, it seems that there is a distribution center here in Daytona. I decided to give it a shot, but it didn't like my debit card and gave me some crap about my zip code being wrong. I guess I'll try again tomorrow.

I'll just let you ponder this for a bit....maybe it will come to you.

I had Netflix. Worked great. Cancelled when I got digital cable, high def, with HBO for half price. Rented movies once in awhile from the local Blockbuster. They tried to get me to join their mail service. Boy am I glad I didn't. A month or so later, I went back to rent a movie and THEY WERE GONE. 
No more Blockbuster stores in my area so no advantage over Netflix.

i am a recluse and never watch any movies (i think the last movie i went to see at the theater was american pie.... anyways) ..... when i saw a netflix commmercial, i thought... cool ... a way to stay a recluse but be able to watch movies (good old ones were what i was really looking for like steve mcqueen etc).... so i joined. i think it was 3 movies a month for $9.95.
first disc came without a problem. wife wanted to watch 'little miss sunshine'. sent it back.... the next one (first disc season one battlesatr gallactica) never arrived. waited a week. reported it missing. 3 days later they sent me another disc.... problem was this disc was disc one, season two !!! not season one !!!!
recap of events... 1 month has now passed. i have watched one movie. i have paid $9.95. i had to report one missing. then they sent me the wrong one.
it took me about 2 seconds to think 'this sucks!!' and cancel the subscription. i will never do anything like that again. i'll just watch re-runs of 'andy griffith' on TVland.
oaw
