netflix or ?

Netflix is awesome for TV series. It's basically a back catalogue service.


We have an Apple TV in each room, for renting movies you can not beat it, plus Netflix always there... you can conceivably turn of the cable unless you are into sports and crappy news channels.

Hulu Plus sucks, as someone mentioned... adverts.

I haven't tried Amazon Prime, despite already having it because I am lazy and with current tech it should be easier than it is to put the media I want on any TV screen in the house. Why would I watch something on an computer screen at my desk, or on a tablet or laptop when I have a huge *** TV right in front of my couch and another in the bedroom?


First Apple TV I bought... best $100 I have spent.

I don't live on these sites watching movies but from my limited experience I've found there is no best.

I found Netflix had a lot of movies and TV series but no current releases (both movies and TV). I found Hula to have the current TV releases if you missed an episode and didn't record it which is nice. Amazon seemed to be a nice blend of both. I'm an Amazon Prime member which includes so many benefits, that's the way I would go.

But I'll be the first to admit, I've been very tempted to just get one of the USENET+VPN feeds for $30-40 and building my own media server to download all the shows I want. I haven't gone that route, but the fact that I cannot get what I want a la carte for a fair price ($30-40/mo) makes me want to do so.

private internet access offers a year for $40. Their Toronto server is pretty fast for... internet browsing
