Netflix vs. Blockbuster

[AlohaStyle]

I've been debating the switch from Blockbuster to Netflix for some time now but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I have a local Blockbuster so it's nice to stop by last minute to pick up a movie and not have to pay anything on the spot for it... just my monthly rate for a store pick up and a mail in movie. It's more expensive than Netflix so that's why I want to change plus I like the option of streaming online. But, I don't have a good set up to watch streaming movies. I won't sit and watch a movie on my computer and it's a pain in the butt to connect my laptop up to my tv anytime I want to watch something on the tv. I have 2 HDMI inputs/cables for my tv but they are both used... by my DirecTv box and my dvd box. So anytime I want to watch something from my laptop, I have to pull things out, etc, etc.

But if your circumstance is right and have a good set up for streaming movies, Netflix all the way.

Ryan,

If your DTV box is connected to your home network and has media share enabled, I can help you set up the PlayOn media server on you PC. Then you could connect to that through your Directv box and play movies from your netflix account. Pretty cool actually as everything is done using the remote and on screen menus.

Let me know.
