Netflix is awesome and what they are asking for a month of their service is nothing. Go for it.

Ah ok. I thought "Super HD" is just marketing term for "Full HD" aka 1080p, and otherwise you'd get only 720p or even less.

Just to clarify a couple of things from my post:

My issue with Netflix wasn't that they charged monthly, its that they do not allow you to prepay with cash. they still charge a credit card or paypal account and then refund the money every single month. Meaning, that even though someone paid for me to have a full year of service, they would NOT let me sign up without giving them a credit card, AND they canceled my account after I removed the payment method even though I had 11 months left of PAID time. So its not exactly a billing preference... they stopped providing a service that was fully paid for.

In contrast, I can pay cash for a hulu card and sign up with it. They don't bill me when there is no reason to. Same thing with Amazon.

The other thing about Hulu... their commercial time has tripled over the past few years. When I first started watching, they lasted about 30 seconds each brake. Now they last about 1:30. Its still better than TV, but when you add their selection that keeps disappearing, I'm giving up on them.

Netflix also has an issue with rotation. They never seem to ADD content... it seems that in order to add new content, they have to remove old content. I haven't looked at their numbers, but when I signed up before I quit using the watchlist because most movies or shows were removed before I could get around to watching them.

But, as others have said, this is a highly opinionated topic, so utilize the free trial to see what works best for you.

I have also canceled cable and save about $100.00/month. I bought a 12 dollar antenna and could pick up about 14 local channels in HD. I replaced that with a $22 antenna and now get about 24 local channels in HD. I used to flip through 400 channels and would constantly complain that "nothing is on". I don't have that problem now. ;)

I wish we had netflix in my country. We just have some crappy service by one of the local TV stations which charges 3 euros/movie, which can be played only on the computer. Cable is cheap, but I'd rather pay 10 bucks for netflix then 10 bucks to a cable provider where I won't watch 99% of the channels anyway.

Me too :(. There is a service provided by a local TV station that charges $10 for some crappy movies like Adam Sandler's and Czech stuff (which almost always suck). Every other service is "We're sorry you can't watch our content." banned here. And TV... Well, if I discover that they broadcast something good but dubbed and 5 years old - as a premiere, of course - , it's usually at Thursday at 11 PM.

So I can't speak from my experience but friends from the U.S. seem satisfied with it.

LOL, good one. +1

Relax, we don't really have it in my country either. :D

I don't have any issues streaming Netflix using a wireless connection. What kind of connection are you using?

As for content, it's all just a matter of perspective. Many of my favorite shows and movies are available on Netflix.

I personally find Netflix to be an excellent service. Eight bucks a month and I have been able to watch through the new Battlestar Galactica, learn about Doctor Who and watch every season through the second Matt Smith, Sons of Anarchy, Arrested Development, Hell on Wheels a ton of stuff that I missed on regular TV. Plus, the Neflix original House of Cards is worth a month's payment just for it. I'd say go for it, it's cheap and offers a lot of content. Most of the movies are weak, but there are a lot of good shows from FX, AMC, Syfy, and other solid networks available.

Use a VPN, you might need somebody in the US or other region that Netflix supports to actually pay, but it definitely does work over VPN. I was doing that for a few months in China with no problems.

In fact, I'm contemplating using a VPN myself because apparently there's shows that aren't available in my region online that are available in other regions.

Too much hassle... Luckily I don't have much time to view movies :/.

I would not support netflix if i were you. According to a newsletter from DefectiveByDesign.org i received some time ago, they try to lock down parts of the internet. Here's a quick copy-paste:

"Netflix just announced that they are streaming videos in HTML5, only in browsers with "Premium Video Extensions". You know what that means -- Digital Restrictions Management (DRM).

The announcement is Netflix's latest chess move in their long game to blanket the web in DRM. Slipping a DRM delivery mechanism into the HTML5 standard is the online streaming giant's endgame. If the outrageous proposal Netflix is peddling to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is adopted, you can kiss the free Web as we know it goodbye. Where do they get the money to gain influence at W3C?

From your subscription dollars."

- Just my 5 cents.

That's rather extreme, don't you think?

This is a subscription service, not a retailer of movies. Giving people a huge collection of DRM free movies and TV shows on a subscription basis isn't likely to convince the IP holders to permit their work to be used by Netflix.

I hate DRM as much as the next fellow, but the only problem here is that the DRM would likely be restricted to Windows, OSX and maybe android.

Netflix is a good sevice, personally I like it, has many series and movies the only problem I've found is that not all countries has available the same content, for exemple, my country is a "new" service and a lot of series are Incomplete for exemple StarGate Sg1 has only the fist 6 seasons, Doctor Who only the first, and Battlestar Galactica they remove the new one, the old is only avalible. but you should try the service, maybe you like it. :)

Netflix Streaming service is great. I love it. Too bad it doesn't have a very extensive anime collection.
