Nestof3 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 We gave my Dad a gift certificate two Christmases ago, and I am finally getting around to signing up. We don't have cable, so this is great! I watch videos when I ride my bike, so it's perfect. Plus, there are so many children's movies available! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOB Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) I am so glad you took the plunge! We do not have cable as well and I love Netflix! You will have so much fun adding educational videos to your queue, unless you dh adds stupid movies before the ed ones!;) (Shh, don't let dh add movies. You will end up with dumb ones if you dh is anything like mine!) Edited March 1, 2009 by wendilouwho Umm, it's me. Bad grammar as usual.

Julie in CA Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 That's how I felt when I signed up too! One of the things I really like about Netflix is that after you go the website and start rating movies that you've seen (which is quick and easy), Netflix will automatically start offering you movies that they think you'll like. Since I don't keep up-to-date about movies, the Netflix recommendations have helped me find *many* movies that I really enjoyed, but had never heard of. Enjoy!

You can also use the Friends option, where you can see the ratings given to movies by friends and family. I love to see what my in-laws recommend, because MIL is a pretty hard grader. If she gives a 5 then it is a great movie. I just upped our subscription level in lieu of getting cable when we moved. Saving $55 a month on cable allowed for a nice boost in the Netflix.

cathmom Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I love Netflix and have been wanting to bump it up to 2 at a time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 We signed up a few months ago and I feel the same way. I know I was concerned how fast the turn around time would be with the mail and Netflix. It has been great. I'm very pleased and no more standing around the video store debating about what to watch.

Emmy Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 WE love netflix. It's such a great option for watching tv shows that are out on dvd and having fresh kids movies available. We have the 3 at a time option and make great use of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 My sister gave us a subscription for Christmas. It's better than cable. We can stream shows we like, and get all kinds of movies that we could not find in our local store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in NH Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 We signed up last October and have loved it! My dh was a real sceptic but now he is their biggest fan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 We had been doing both Netflix and DirectTV, but we've been happier with just Netflix and are paying less overall. We get to pick what we watch and have enjoyed watching a lot of the old series in the evening together. I get documentaries tied into our schoolwork too. Of course I can't find the article right now, but I read one a few weeks back in Business Week or something of that ilk that they have continued to do well financially while almost every other entertainment company is struggling in these economic times.

mommylawyer Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 We've been Netflix addicts for the past 3 years or so. We don't have cable either. The best part about Netflix is the Watch Instantly feature in addition to the movies you can get in the mail! I LOVE Netflix!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nestof3 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 I love Netflix and have been wanting to bump it up to 2 at a time! I chose three at a time because I have half children's movies and half grown-up movies/documentaries. The price difference was so small, and it is still less than cable. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
