Re: HDTV Almanac - Netflix Raises Rates

There are a few things missing though. NetFlix had, and I emphasize the had a sweetheart deal with the content providers that give them content at far less than cable and satellite, but that is either gone or running out. Their cost is going to go up considerably with contract renewals.

Now, even IF I could get faultless HD streaming video I do not like streaming video. I usually get interrupted when watching a movie and may need to pause for several hours. If I have to long in again, I don't want to have to start at the beginning again which has been my experience.

As I've said before, I'd much prefer to download and view at my leisure. The only thing that really works for me is either rental or purchasing the DVD although I've done neither for quite some time.

Netflix's new pricing plan started yesterday. I dumped streaming. Now only DVD plus Blu-ray. Works for me.
