Reason I ask what platform, is that the few times we access it on the PC – it seems to be less new content there (on the PC) and fewer selections based on our previous “ratings” of titles. Seemed to be a lot of new movie releases available over the past summer that are now no longer available. Some times note that there is an “available until” tag on some of the newer movies.

Do you make a habit of “rating” each movie, show, etc. you watch on NetFlix? We have rediscovered a lot of “long forgotten” movies and TV series by using the “Love It” etc rating system.

CNet had an E-Article this week about Netflix planning on competing with HBO w the launch of their new series…and too they mentioned the slow down and blocking of movie studios newest releases to NF. Read that: Revenue Competition!!?

FWIW: We ONLY subscribe to the streaming Netflix option, and not the mail DVD disc. Simple reason is that, back in the Hollywood Video et al DVD rental days, I got tired of paying top $ for the latest movies on DVD and then having them “hang” because of smeg or other unknown substances/ scratches /etc. on the disc from previous users that caused the DVD to error out. F That!

Also, AMAZON PRIME - IMO: Don’t bother, unless you would like the option to “purchase” and archive some movies in digital format. The selection of streaming “1,000’s of movies and new releases” promised by them as one of their “Prime” members is much less satisfactory than those available via Netflix, Hulu, or HD Cable offerings IMO.

I guess the ansewer to your question would be PC since my TV has the Netflix app built in and Im viewing via wireless. I havent noticed more or less online via my comp or my TV.
