I agree... Amazon Prime has the added benefit of free 2-day shipping for things you buy on Amazon. But, it's the BEST combination of programming.
Hulu Plus has commercials and Netflix does not.
i have both. I don’t use hulu plus much, but watching entire series is pretty kool.
A lot of old TV shows are available on YouTube, which I can get through my Blue Ray player on my TV. I watch old shows like Amos & Andy, The Odd Couple, Highway Patrol, Lou Grant and many others.
Just got a Sony BDP-S3100 Blu-ray Disc player (wireless) for Christmas. The initial testing is going great! Next step is to call my cable provider and tell them that they and A&E can kissoff...
I never used to have this problem, but now everything I put in there seems to have a long wait. If it doesn't improve, I will drop the discs and just use their streaming.
Past. Project free tv. Anything and everything almost immediately. Totally free and I have the computer hooked up to my tv as a second screen.
Ah another fan! I love that series. It really exposes the stupidity of bureaucracies and bureaucrats besides being a great show. Only thing, Frank is still Silvio to me.
Do any of them already have the entire 2014 series of Downton Abbey?
I watched them all last month.
And “HOmeland”
And The Paradise; Revolution, Hell on Wheels ets etc -
This European site is the best and easiest to use EVER.
Juat DO NOT ‘download” - just ‘watch”
VERY easy to get back to next episode...and simple list of programs - no hunting all over heck and gone.

Both.
Of the 125 titles in my queue, nineteen show a wait and most of those are short waits...and they are mostly way down the list which I won’t get to for a month or so. I haven’t noticed an uptick in those for which I must wait.
Lillyhammer is a fun romp in poking at the liberal establishment of socialism, multiculturalism, and the idiots who man the bureaucracy of a state constructed on those premises, how the black market flourishes in spite of/ because of them.
I agree Van Zant is still Silvio, and Tony Sirico is still Paulie.
They have signed on for a third season. Hope that it doesn’t jump the shark.
This was a web rumor that I googled to death and found where TCM had thought about setting up internet streaming ROKU could access, but their agreements with cable & satellite seemingly stopped it. Then another place said TCM was still perusing it, and probably cost about 5 bucks.
I see it coming. Warner IMO does not have nearly the content TCM does, but I might take their free trial to see if they are worth $10 a month. I also enjoy TCM’s commentary about each classic they show. I would definitely pay $10 for TCM considering we paid cable $79 per month and watched mostly TCM.
It’s so refreshing to watch movies of yesteryear when codes prohibited certain content. Lefty actors, excessive sex, fags, and plotless blood & brain spattering violence rules out so much of todays films. I just cannot see what a fully nude sex scene or gory violence does for a film.
Weird, does it run hot? I’m still using ps3 and laptop. I’ve had some Sony receivers that had short lifetimes because of heat.
I even did a factory reset and pulled down the latest & greatest firmware update thinking something got gooped up in all the updates this thing has received in the last 18 months.
That seemed to solve the problem for about a week, then we went right back to the lock up and reboot problem in the middle of a movie.
I'm wondering if this thing is getting a bad update, or if I really need to pull it apart and re-work the heat dissipation on it to see if that corrects the issue. I'll probably take a look at that today as soon as I finish installing the water coolers in the gaming PC's here.
Water cooled PC’s. My plumbing skills would lead to fireworks.
Microsoft released a document about a year ago, and 90% if their problem logs were from overclocked CPU’s.
I’m not over-clocking. The problem with Gaming PC’s is they tend to run the CPU at or near 100% for extended periods of time. That drives the core temperature up. All I’m looking to do is keep the core temp down in a reasonable range (40-50c) so the cpu’s don’t shut down during a game or worse fry themselves.
We have Netflix and run it to TV via our Wii console.. Our 8 year old watches it all the time..
