A $30 Android TV box with the Neptune Rising and CCloudTV addons on Kodi gives you all the streaming movies and TV shows and live cable channels you could want for the price of your internet connection.

We quit netflix too. At first it was a good deal. One of the distribution centers is virtually local and we could get movies the next day. Their content quality dropped, they hired three thugs for no reason but a favor payed them for being commies bent on destroying the USA.

Most of their shows are pompous, left-wing, feminist and globalist thug sermons.

Wait, you’re saying you don’t want to see every direct-to-video movie Nicolas Cage is starring in to pay off his debt collectors?!?

... but, with only 24 hours in a day, a finite amount of time to watch TV...

I still look at usenet's rec.arts.tv (or whatever the name is).

One comment to a "What Did You Watch [date]..." thread was "Congratulations. You just wasted 12 hours, half a day, watching mindless drivel."

On the flip side, Obama’s doing well for them.

No problem...

LMAO

Catalog reduced by 50% since 2012. Yeah might have something to do with it. Plus Amazon is kicking everybodies rump.

The specific company leading a technology change has never been in front forever. Going all the way back to Sears Roebuck and their final solution for consumer contact, the catalog.

They bought into all the hype, and think everyone loves Obama and company.

Guess what...

When you trade at 600 x earnings you better make your growth estimates. Personally I prefer stocks that already make money and pay good dividends.

They can chalk this up to Susan Rice, Obama, and the likes of the very disgusting Michelle Wolf and her salute to abortion. Their numbers will continue to drop.

Time to change the business model.

Netflix still will send any movie you want on DVD by mail, which I haven’t bothered with in over four years now. Or, you can get any crappy movie that may or may not be of interest by streaming — and you can’t purchase the movie you actually want.

So, while my 80yo parents have been giving their $3.990/DVD to RedBox, I’ve been giving my $3.99 / download rental to Amazon.

Meanwhile, most of what I pay Amazon for is available on cable, but I refuse to watch a movie that has an ad in the middle of it. I’m sure there are alternatives, but Amazon has made it easy for me, plus free shipping.

All of these fools need to actually listen to their customers. Instead, they just push more crap on us, expecting us to fall in line... Sound familiar, DNC/RINOs?

Not to mention them pushing young child sexuality in a show called “Desire”.

Been a DVD home rental customer of Netflix since 2006.

No complaints from me. Hope this, ‘gee we can be a streaming outlet and create our own content like the other guys’ attitude doesn’t blow up in their face.

I cancelled them because of that and I had been a subscriber since their beginning.
