Well, I just added 1 disc at a time to streaming - but only until we are done with Wonder Years...

The movie choices on Streaming just didn't do it for us...we will drop Streaming after we finish the Wonder years and just live with one DVD at a time so we can catch latest releases...

I am hoping so much Netflix improves their streaming choices (but can't say my expectations are all that high)...

I just added the "one disc" to the streaming. Suich Dec 2011 #1

I've seen most of the good documentaries that stream - we were renting 10 discs/month NRaleighLiberal Dec 2011 #2

On the other hand, their TV choices are pretty good. Lydia Leftcoast Dec 2011 #3

Maybe it's because I don't have cable - Merlot Dec 2011 #4

I wanted to watch a movie that was made in the last 2 years! I'll probably keep streaming, for a while anyway, because I like their documentaries.

My neighbor also has the "one disc" so we'll be able to swap DVDs.

since the start of Netflix, so got through a good bit of them.

Such a shame that the movie section for streaming is such a low quality endeavor!

I've got "Portlandia," "Kingdom," "Cadfael," "Stephen Fry in America," "The Murdoch Mysteries," "Terry Jones: Ancient Adventures," "George Gently," several older P.D. James episodes that I'd like to see again, "Luther," "Inspector Bellamy," "MI-5," "Lost," "A Touch of Frost," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "DaVinci's Inquest," and several Frontline and National Geographic documentaries that I've missed.

I currently have streaming plus two discs at a time, and frankly, I'm watching streaming more than the disks.

But I have found all sorts of things to watch on streaming. Playing catchup, no doubt. Right now am in season two of Breaking Bad. Watched the complete 5 seasons of Madmen. Next up is MI-5. Am catching up on all the Bill Hicks - just watched the doc of his life - loved it.

I like streaming better due to the flexibility. But will probably switch back to DVD's for a couple months to catch up on new releases...In Treatment isn't on streaming.

Right now, there are over 50 movies on my streaming queue, it feels like I'll never run out of things to watch!

Scrolling from top to bottom to find what I'm in the mood for is a pain.
