Anyone use Netflix?
 

I was talking to my wife about the cost of our cable vs. netflix. Does anyone use them? Are they up to date with Shaw?

Google it Jason.

They went through some changes. Apparently not good ones. Lost a lot of subscribers over it.

we have net flix but its through x box and telus , its ok but i still end up watching tv more though lol:P

I tried it, every show I wanted to watch was not available in Canada.. O I dropped it.

Netflix is decent but there isnt much new stuff on there especially movies.

I would recommend just downloading everything. I hear it quick and easy to do ;)

to my knowledge theres a canadian netflix and american netflix the american is supposed to be much better and apparently you can download it or something somehow i havent looked into it and prob wont lol:mrgreen:

We've got it,

New movies are hit and miss but they have a lot of old classics that are fun to watch.

I wouldn't recommend it as a replacement for cable because it didn't have most of the shows I really like on it. I've found it's worth having because for $8.00 a month you only have to watch two videos to pay for it (compared to renting them). We have it on our apple tv box and picture and sound is ok.

Try it out, they have a free trial period so you're not really risking anything.

Can I watch scheduled NHL hockey?

No

I use a program called TED to download all our shows automatically through torrents. Downloaded shows and movies link directly to a boxee box which organizes and allows easy viewing just like a PVR. Costs nothing and works great, so great that I have shaw TV under a promo and the box isn't even hooked up. For live sporting events and news you have to watch through the web or add boxee live which I haven't tried yet.
