I am sick of HBO's R and X rated filth, left wing documentaries and propaganda movies. I don't want to pay for 15 MTV's and 25 ESPN's just to get the Boomerang channel. I like movies and family friendly TV. With Netflix I get what I want when I want and I don't have to pay for a bunch of X rated junk.

Netflix shows a lot of Christian and family friendly stuff that I didn't know existed. I have often wondered what TV would look like if people could pick what shows they get, and Netflix is showing us that. I predict that eventually this will be driving more family friendly movies and other programming since HBO and Comcast aren't making the decisions anymore.

HBO is a premium channel that requires a subscription. If you don't like it, then by all means don't subscribe.

The irony and misinformation here is incredible. Netflix has movies that HBO et al would never show uncut. Stuff that is truly X rated, not the soft core fare found on HBO.

In reality, premium channels such as HBO function a lot like Netflix these days. I pull up HBO HD on a menu, and I can watch any show that HBO is offering.
