I got rid of my cable over the summer and just signed up for the free Netflix month trial a few days ago for the hell of it. I have a fast connection and am using a WD Live Hub so it works pretty smoothly and the HD picture is fine however I'm not much a movie or tv show watcher so I don't see myself using it. I hooked up my parents on my account so I may continue to pay the monthly fee and just tell them its free so they keep using it.

I cannot live without Boxing so fortunately I can download most fights in HD from torrents. I'm a day a late but I can live with that. I also download tons of live concerts and a movie once in a blue moon so Netflix is just not for me. The service itself I found fairly cool if someone likes to watch movies and isn't very technically savvy.

Another thing I noticed is that the Netflix HD movies i took a look at were all in 5.1. I only run 2 channel stereo so they sound like garbage. I can barely hear any spoken dialog as you would imagine so that's no good. With torrents the majority of the time i can pick and choice the type of soundtrack i want.
