In much of Netflix early years (so pre downloading), Netflix had a bad reputation for shipping DVDs and customer service in general. A few years ago light bulb must have gone on in somebody's head there. Customer service is great. I still just get movies on DVD. No problems. Should try DLing to my iPad. Not set up for it on my TV.

Oh yeah in the early years they were horrific at customer service. At one point they stopped sending me dvds and nothing moved in my queue for no apparent reason, the only way to contact them was by email, and they didn't answer that for about five days! Luckily I haven't had much going wrong with them for years, so I don't have to deal with CS, even if they are better now!

I've been a Netflix member for 9 years. i never experienced the shipping problems others reported. I do the 4 out at a time option, and I watch primarily TV shows on my iPad (I'm rewatching X-Files these days). I go through at least 12-15 DVDs a month, so it's a great deal for me.

Kitt, this article is from three plus years ago. It explains the change for the much better in customer service at Netflix.

"Friendly Oregonians," LOL. Good for them, it really makes a difference to be treated nicely by customer support.

If anybody else here surfs with Opera browser and uses the block content feature, I finally figured how to block those annoying intellitxt ads. Although, if a different blocker you use doesn't already cover these, I am pretty sure this works for any type of blocker on any browser where you can manually add entries. Intellitxt ads are those annoying ads that pop up out of nowhere when you mouse over random words in an article. (for example, if you are catching up on the latest Hollywood gossip at http://www.radaronline.com/) I manually added these 3 entries to the blocked content list: http://*.kontera.com/* http://*.intellitxt.* http://*.vibrantmedia.com/* If anybody notices a place that these 3 entries don't cover, let me know. I'd like to make my list as complete as possible.

ok, I went through the netflix FAQ as thoroughly as I could...I think I have it figured out, but not completely. 7.99 if all you want to do is stream the movies 9.99 if you want DVDs sent to your house as well as streaming movies. 11.99 if you want blu-ray sent to your house as well as streaming Is that correct? They don't exactly tell you straight out at the site. And do all those prices mean unlimited?

Huh, they don't show my plan on there. We pay $17.99 per month and get three DVDs at a time, with unlimited streaming. We can get as many DVDs per month as we can watch, but we can only have three at any given time.

Dangit, I am totally confused about this place now. What I want is blu-ray and dvd sent to my house, and streaming, and there is really no place that says exactly how much that would cost.

Hi Naja, I found this at the website: How much does it cost? For only $7.99 a month, you can instantly watch TV episodes & movies streaming over the Internet to your TV via an Xbox 360, PS3, Wii or any other device that streams from Netflix. Watch as often as you want, anytime you want. Plus, for only $2 more a month, you can also get 1 DVD out at-a-time which you can exchange as often as you want. There are no due dates or late fees, and you can cancel anytime. Does Netflix carry Blu-ray movies? Yes, we carry Blu-ray movies and are adding more as they are released by the studios. You can add access to Blu-ray discs to your account at any time for an additional $2.00 a month. Click to browse our Blu-ray movies. Looks like 11.99/month for unlimited everything

We have the 7.99 streaming plus 2.00 DVD plan, but now that we have a Blu Ray player, may have to upgrade to the 11.99 plan.

Well, really, why would you? Lol We didn't have one either so we bought "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" ( a fave) on blu-ray. Sweet!

What are you trying to find Naja? Netflix now has the following plans: . $4.99 for 1 dvd at a time, only 2 per month, and only 2hrs Watch Instantly . $6.99 for Starz Play Only (no other Watch Instantly, no dvds) . $7.99 for unlimited Watch Instantly only (no dvds) . $9.99 for 1 dvd at a time + unlimited Watch Instantly . $14.99 for 2 dvds at a time + unlimited Watch Instantly . $19.99 for 3 dvds at a time + unlimited Watch Instantly . $27.99 for 4 dvds at a time + unlimited Watch Instantly . plus other plans with 5, 6... etc dvds for lots more You can add the blu-ray option to any plan which has dvds for an additional $2 on top of the price above, so for example two blu-ray dvds at a time plus streaming would be $16.99.

Sort of off topic, sort of on...I saw a tech program today hosted by CNET. I am not 100% sure, but am pretty sure that Playstation 3 is blue ray player and capable of streaming HD from Netflix.

Happymom, yes, it is. My son watches movies on Netflix in his room through his PS3.

I refuse to put this in the "Did You Do Anything Stupid Today" because I did it yesterday (and I don't want my name up there forever lol) I was on a TCVH thread last night where we were talking about tv Christmas shows like Olive, the Other Reindeer. Now I can't find the thread cuz I don't know its name. Please help. There is a reward offered.

Dogdoc, it is very easy to find something like that. Just use the Search box from the link at the top of each page. (second line down, center) Put Olive in the search box and have it search text of messages, then fill in past 2 days, or whatever. Very easy.

Big Brother Question: The BB 2010 section has been cleaned out so I can't figure out what I want to know. I am trying to plan vacation days and need to know which evictions have had endurance HOH's. I would like to take off on those Fridays in case anyone ever lasts more than 3 hours. Anyone know?
