Netflix users here?

Post by Minus »

Hey all,I was just wondering if we have any Netflix users here.
I've been a subscriber for 2 1/2 years now and have loved the service.
I'm thinking about getting streaming only now as it seems that's all I do with it anymore since I got high speed once again.
My question to any users out there are,

What are you watching?
What sitcoms/shows do you stream?
Which movies would you recommend?

For myself,I just recently found a sitcom that I absolutely fell in love with.It's called Parks and Recreation.
Season 1 was great but alot of people thought it was slow.
Personally I thought it was brilliant for the 6 episodes it aired.We got to meet and know the characters and when
season 2 aired it just plain took off.I now await season 3 in January!

Now if you like epic sagas then you will love Ken Follet's Pillars of The Earth.
Hands down probably the best book I've ever read and that was nearly 20 years ago.
It has something for everyone.I didn't think the mini series would be any good but man was I pleasantly wrong.
I really,really enjoyed it and I'm sure you will too!

Some others I really enjoy/enjoyed are:
Louis CK-all his stand up and especially his show.Brilliant!
Million Dollar Baby
King of the Hill-all seasons
Julie & Julia
Into the Wild
Star Trek 2009
An Inconvenient Truth
Gone Baby Gone
Arrested Development
and many,many more.
If you enjoy Netfix as much as I do,post some of your favorites right here! :)

There's many better sites than that one Taco but whatever works eh?
Yeah Netflix only offers to USA and now Canada.(Streaming only)
I stream alot of stuff from icefilms.nfo. It requires Firefox and greasemonkey to stream well.
Been using them for a very long time.I was actually a part of the team when they first started up.

Taco, why don't you use a proxy based in the US or even try an American DNS?

There are ways around your problem!

Thanks CPU,I wasn't sure if you could use a proxy for Netflix. 8)

EDIT: It seems they've possibly blocked hotspot now.Still works for Hulu,may possibly work for Netflix.
