I just dropped the streaming and saved some money. The selection was too meager and my internet too slow to make it worthwhile any longer. I don't think they helped themselves much with this change.

I rented a movie at Redbox Sat. cost me $1.23 and only 1.5 miles from the house.
I thought Netflix plan was to gradually put everything on streaming, what happened to that? We tried it for
couple months and there just wasn't enough on streaming.

I guess I'm just petty enough to really enjoy seeing a company make stupid moves & fail miserably. Poor, poor Netflix.

I'll bet that 50% of the people that quit in a huff will be back. Netflix still has a tens of millions of potential customers and that number along with the number of netflix enabled devices are only going up.

Just spent a half an hour looking for something to stream on Netflix. One thing I will say about them, their selection of Gene Autry movies is vast and impeccable.

I don't have a problem with their seaming. Their movie selection may not be all that hot, but I primarily use it to watch television shows anyway. For example, last week, Netflix had 33 episodes of Breaking Bad available for streaming. Tonight, I noticed that they have 47 episodes available. That's pretty quick since the last season just ended. It's a lot cheaper and easier for me to watch television this way than with cable.

I love watching tv series on streaming using Netflix on the AppleTV. Even if the selection never changed, I think I'd still be busy for years with what's there.
