Hi Bonnie, glad to see there is another movie nut in the house. Yup, but I haven't subscribed since I tend to like the watch the DVD's the first week they are released. Also, I live about 300 metres away from 3 DVD rental places. Two chains and one alternative place. How much delay is there for you with new releases?

Sounds like a nice setup. We have a 27" CRT with a stereo and a PVR hooked up to it... kinda old school. Since our place is very small, we'll have to wait for LCD's to drop in price to justify a larger screen and the space for a surround sound system.

>Sorry Evan, this will be a bit off topic ... you say you're a movie nut. Does NetFlix deliver to Canada? We are movie nuts also and NetFlix is wonderful! We don't watch TV per se ... our projector, screen and surround sound equipment is used solely for the purpose of watching movies on DVD.

>>In BC one of our Telco's and DSL providers is offering this. Not in my neighbourhood yet, but it looks to be a really good deal. $22 for a basic package, then add on a couple of history/science channels and I would be happy. Also you can download from a movie library.

>>I'm reasonably happy with my satellite system (Bell Expressvu) which is $27 per month for a really deluxe package. The downsides are:
>>- when the weather is really bad and we are stuck inside, the tv signal drops
>>- our very cheap package is not offered anymore, and each year they tack on a bigger and bigger service charge so eventually our discount will be gone
>>- the pay per view only allows for about 24 movie selections at any given time. I'm a movie nut.
>>- though ExpressVU allows the purchase of individual channels, they say with our discount package they can't do this. I smell BS.
