Netflix posts poor subscriber growth

They have to increase the amount of good movies, they are always adding movies but most of them I have never even heard of and are rated so low. Pretty much every time I come across an older movie I would like to see, I check Netflix and they never have the movie. The TV selection is great, but like they say the movie selection is very lacking and tons of crappy titles no one wants to watch.

I bet Netfl1x is hoping now they never tried to split their on-line streaming and mailing service now. I'm of the opinion when they did that it really hurt their business more then they thought and still fighting to over come that one bad misstep... Worse part i don't see them recovering from it any time soon, especially when you consider others are not getting into the on-line streaming game...

You have to buy streaming if you want to get DVDs. I watch DVDs because I don't like the TV shows so I went with BB.

Like other old worn out companies they neglect their roots. They are morons not to invest more in expanding their DVD catalog to include more old movies.

I think it falls in the region of almost getting it right. I look for older popular movies and netflix does not have in stream. BB though dish was god awful.

Streaming is much cheaper they were getting it very cheaply, now only cheaply. DVDs get lost and scratched.

It's like WTF, I want to see the 'making of' stuff too.

NetNuts has simply turned into another HBO-ish channel like any other media network you would subscribe to that limits your content.

When I first heard that Netflix was going to start renting stripped-down versions of the retail DVDs, I thought that'd be the end of my subscription. But really, most of the bonus stuff is just Hollywood patting itself on the back, saying what a great job everyone did.

Some of it is interesting, but I can do without it.

I had a membership with Netflix and the reason I cancelled was over the streaming split,and I also prefer my movies on DVD and they want to push you to watch streaming by not sending the DVDs as quickly as they use to. My internet connection is not that great and continually has to stop to reset streaming, so I don't even try to watch movies that way. Blockbuster is just as bad. I just recently cancelled them again, for the fact they sent me only 2 movies in one month and I send them back the next day, because I don't watch one but once and may never watch it again. If I do it will be months later and when I called about the problem they told me I could watch streaming or return to a BB store, which as far as I know don't even exist in my area any longer!

The quality of streaming is very poor and you ONLY get stereo sound which is a deal breaker for me. I have a limited interest in streaming for those reasons.

Hey Guys, coming from someone in Canada. I got Netflix here because of a free 30 day trial with new Bluray player. Movies and TV show catalogue sucks here. A few TV shows I would watch and all a lot older movies. Not Worth the money here. As others here have said, it's called torrents. I am a grandfathered internet subscriber that still has no bandwith cap on dl's.

need better movies!

Netflix is great! What the heck else can you get for $8 dollars these days? A Big mac and some fries, maybe? How many good channels are on nowadays? Anything is better than MTV or the E channel.
