While I do understand the recent Netflix decision from a business standpoint and the post you made, what really troubles me is the dual functionality that I used most. If I found something that I wanted which wasn’t available through streaming then I would add it to my DVD queue. I only requested about 1 DVD a month but the recent decision isn’t what made me leave. I left because the company promoted using open standards for systems but flat out refused to stream to open source systems which is the equivalent of blasphemy in some communities. I can imagine it was just corporate licensing arguments that kept them from providing content to an open platform but when the company supports more *NIX-based devices than any other OS already and refuses to provide a solution for anyone running it on their own hardware… If you really want, you could rip any number of clients from a device and use them as many have. Well, I just wanted to throw in my two cents worth of frustration and see what your view was.

Netflix was good. Not now. Looks like a typical consumer is a dupe approach. It looks to me like somebody is playing them for suckers and they are going down hill. I ain’t renewing. There is an old saying, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
