Out of the Blue

[Feb 23, 2011, 10:59 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

As one of the last people on Earth who doesn't use Netflix, I don't have a lot of proper experience with streaming TV and movies, other than DirecTV's half-hearted on-demand service. As an Amazon Prime customer, I checked out their new free streaming service yesterday and was pretty impressed, as things streamed nicely and looked good with zero delays or hiccups. Having a very fast connection and an unusual love for b movies, I'm probably the perfect target for this service.

I love Netflix. It made me drop to just basic cable. I watched 5 seasons of Lost in 3 months! They're now concentrating on expanding their streaming offerings. That's their focus now, not so much the mail DVDs.
