Netflix - Not bad! Qwikster - uh, never mind...

party down > p&r, no contest

their finale on starz got like 16,000 viewers or something insane acc'ding 2 adam scott. i think it was more ppl jumped ship when it was clear the writing was on the wall

it is deeply, deeply tempting to buy a shit-ton of Netfliz stock

I can't believe it won't go back up

It's looking right now like we should have all followed this advice.

Ayuh.
Up 30% I think.
Fuckers reneged on renting games tho, thanks a lot

anyone else notice a bunch of stuff bounce out of their 'saved' section? i read speculation on the criterion forum that this is prob just netflix lowering its threshhold of what they take out of circulation rather than acquiring new physical copies of things, which i would think is right but ima move several of these up my queue

has anyone watchedhttp://cdn-8.nflximg.com/en_us/boxshots/tv_sdp_s/70221438.jpg?

I just noticed that this morning on the inside of the Netflix envelope! It surprised me because I'm still watching the Sopranos and was like WAHT

also curious about this.

watched the first five minutes, seemed awful

like the first scene is two mobsters at a funeral just giving unveiled exposition

and it has that 'showtime' look to it

i've been curious about this show, too ... it definitely looks like sopranos-fan bait, whatever its quality.

and it has that 'showtime' look to it

wth is this about. It's like every show is transferred from NTSC to PAL and then back.

idk it's really bizarre, fwiw homeland doesnt look like that, so they are capable

it's always been that way too, going back to that Sherilyn Fenn show, Chris Isaak show etc.

Thursday marked one year since Netflix announced an unpopular price increase in the U.S. It has bounced back this year to revive its subscriber growth, though its stock remains 70 percent down from its peak about a year ago.

what they lost in money, they made up in laughs...and isn't that what life is about?

still!

Mittwoch!

Netflix is driving me crazy. I've have justified season 3 at the top of my queue since even before it was released but they keep not sending the 1st disc, even though it shows as available. They've passed over it 6 times now.

I had man men queued up, got the first two discs then the third became a 'very long wait' and so logically they sent disc 4. It's been a long wait for like three weeks now.

I swear that in the past when I waited more than a couple days they'd send you one from a different city and apologize profusely. I think their official policy now is "fuck you DVD people".

I want to complain to support, but you have to call them??? As far as I can tell.

I had man men queued up

Take it to the TMI thread. But yeah, they've pretty much stopped giving shit one about DVD users at this point.

Only a wunderkind if he bought shit-tons of the stock.

I've been having all kinds of trouble over the last several months streaming netflix. I've seen the quality drop considerably, below SD in many cases, especially during prime hours. All other streaming services are working fine and streaming in HD or near HD quality. Some web searches reveal that this has been a common problem with people who use Comcast. It's driving me crazy and will probably make me either switch ISP's or cancel netflix all together. I don't want to cancel netflix, I use it all the time and stream several hours of TV shows each day. It's my main source of entertainment.

I have the same issue with Time Warner, I plan to switch to U-verse when I move.

xfinity is the same as comcast, right?

we had the same problem for a while recently too.

it got slightly better when we stopped using our appletv wirelessly and connected it via network cable.

weve been having this problem w/ netflix and w/ hulu. replacing our modem helped a little but not too much

(on time warner cable. considering switching to optimum.)

As a Time Warner broadband subscriber I've been fretting over the merger with Comcast because I do a huge amount of streaming through Netflix, spotify, etc. and it sounds like Comcast has been pretty bad about throttling bandwidth and putting caps on streaming. Maybe deals like this one with Netflix are a step toward alleviating some of these issues.

Yeah, but in a way that lets Comcast continue throttling bandwidth for companies who won't pay up, or other kinds of traffic like bittorrent that they see as competing with their cable TV business. I'm worried, personally, this seems like a really bad precedent.

^^^

My ISP is a small cable provider who swears they will never throttle bandwidth for anybody at either end of the pipe, but they could change their mind at any instant, or get gobbled up by a bigger cableco at any instant.

Why the FCC won't just declare ISPs subject to common carrier rules is beyond me.

Well no not really it's probably some variety of seamy under-the-table shenanigans but I live in hope that they're just incompetent and wishy-washy instead of actively corrupted by regulatory capture like everything else in this country

hoping with you, not expecting much tho'

Anyone else caught in the great billing system outage?

do tell?

Just noticed they dumped about 12 discs from my queue into the 'saved' list. These weren't things with wait times earlier this week. All of them fairly recent indie/foreign titles too--Red Riding Trilogy (which isn't on instant anymore), White Material, Somewhere...

Lol recent comment on Walking With Monsters: to any mormons like me this show is very inaccurate and not very educational but the animations are excellent and it always adds in a couple fight scenes
