If they're so mainstream, why do they have an increasingly thin amount of material?

[JackPeyton]

you think they have a thin selection? Ive had it for about 5 years now and still have over 100 things in my que to watch and am always adding new stuff to it.

oh nvm, i just saw this was for the UK

[DRW50]

A lot of reality shows I'd like to see never show up on there and some shows I used to watch through Netflix have become more and more difficult to get.

[JackPeyton]

yeah, there is a lot not on netflix, but i find a lot of shows ive never seen before on there. and i am all about their horror movie and docu selections.

i do think hulu is a better option, esp for tv shows, but i refuse to pay for hulu and have to watch ads.

i dont think amazon prime has much to offer, at all, sadly.

[DRW50]

I used to get UK shows but they've become more and more difficult (long wait, very long wait). Maybe this deal will help that.

[JackPeyton]

hopefully! I enjoy the uk and aus shows when they add them.

I knew I liked Netflix for some reason!

Netflix streaming options are limited compared to the DVDs and I would pay if they had literally every DVD streaming. I think I read Time/Warner pulled thousands of movies from Netflix so they can set up their own streaming service geared towards people who like to watch Turner Classic Movies.

Yeah, one of my friends and her roommate have Hulu Plus, and the selection is better, especially if you're like me and like older shows, but to hell with paying for commercials. The best thing about Netflix is knowing that you'll never get stuck with repetitive ads and buffering.
