Thanks for reminding me. Just switched to streaming only. Will have to devise another plan by February. Watched "Tangled" with my daughter and girlfriend a few days ago. It would be a shame to see such content go away.

It's funny, I went to Netflix because I got offended by Hulu's pay program. Now, I may have to reconsider. At least I'll get to keep up with TV shows.

And Starz has pulled their content from Netflix over a pricing dispute.

On the brighter side, in Canada we had over 200 TV shows and movies added to streaming :)

Even Hulu+ though isn't worth it, most new content is unavailable, its filled with commercials and the mobile/TV devices can only view 1/3rd of their content.  I'm starting to get really annoyed with both services and the content providers...

What the market needs is a new option...how about it Tim? Launch a new streaming option!! :)

At least you have the option. UK streaming services are embryonic by comparison.

I am forced to use "less official" methods to keep up to date.

The problem is, I'd be telling the content providers what to do, and they'd hate that!  :P

O.K., that's it. I'm moving back to Canada!  :)

Good idea - we just came back from a visit to Quebec City - and I would love to move to Canada!  ((although maybe to Anglophone Ontario or Nova Scotia....))

Nah, Ontario is dull. Quebec all the way (says the Montrealer who moved to Toronto)

I agree. For me, Montreal has more culture. The food is great. I always have to visit Arahova, Montreal Bagel and Cafe Santropol when I'm there. Eat and take a walk up the mountain.

Doesn't everyone want to move to Canada? I know I would.

I know it's unnusual here but I don't have a podcast of my own.
