Netflix

I was talking on the phone to my aunt in the UK today and found out that you guys in the UK don't yet have Netflix. Now that I have high speed again (  ;D ) we have it and it is pretty great for only $8 CND a month for all the movies and TV shows that are offered. I like how if you can't see the whole movie, the next time you go to watch it, Netlix will ask you if you want to start from the beginning or where you left off last time.

We in Canada get different (and less) shows to chose from but there is a really good selection and in Canada we get a lot of UK shows. I just started watching the contemporary version of SHerlock Holmes.

We have LoveFilm.com which I think is similar.

I don't use it myself - just know about it as they used to work from the call centre on this island.
Nostalgia is not what it used to be. 😟

Yes that looks similar to how the US is set up - in Canada we only get the streaming video which is easier and it would only be 4 BGP a month instead of 10 GBP - I think it is too complicated to explain to my 84 year old aunt.
