Yes, but I would also use Hulu.com for TV shows.

Questions:
1.) Does Netflix have current episodes of TV shows that are running now or just past seasons? No, Netflix's TV selection using watch now sucks.
(Example: Can I watch the new season of Walking Dead when it starts again?)
2.) Can you get current episodes of HBO original series shows? No.
3.) What is Netflix que? (people say, "That is in my Netflix que" often) It's the movies/shows that are lined up wating for you to return your outstanding dvd, before they will ship your next program.

4.) How fast can you begin watching a desired program? As fast as your internet connection speed (it takes me less than 1 minute)

5.) Is the movie selection that much better with the mail orders? NO, the mail order selection is much, much better.

6.) How long is the turn around for mail order DVDs? 2 days each way on average in PA. For example if I return a DVD on Monday, I should receive the next DVD in my que on Thurday or Friday.

7.) Is there a better service than Netflix out there? Check out Blockbuster?
