The streaming sucks. Pretty much have to record a download and watch later. At least with HBO.

DirecTV sucks for everything other than having Sunday Ticket.

So we rented Black Mass last week and after that, someone locked our ability to rent movies. The lady on the phone didn't know why, but she unlocked it and this morning we are back in business.

So stupid.

Solid flick, I recommend it.

Partially kidding. There are still some stores left here and there.

I was more reveling in the dichotomy of America pushing out an affordable solution that worked for one that even in the age of the internet, is still an inferior experience. Amazing that it's still just not there yet.

Mr. Pack is having some trouble with DirectTV but I can watch nearly anything I want to watch, right this very second, without leaving my house or putting clothes on.

That beats getting dressed, driving to the store, etc.

Huge fan of channels 594-599.

 

[flapgreen]

Watched it again late last night.  Thanks for the suggestion.  Very suspenseful

I hear you. The demise of home video was written as soon as the internet was invented. And one person's bad experience with a streaming movie should not condemn the many advantages of movies delivered through pipes. 

But at $4.99 a pop and $5.99 for an HD movie via DirecTv that's still high in my opinion considering the decreased costs of delivery, at least in the Midwest. People complain about movie theater pricing which is a relative bargain. :hijack:

They have good customer service too. 

But yea, their on demand is a steaming pile of ####.
