    I re-subscribed to Netflix for the first time in about a year and a half a couple of months ago. After watching a few things periodically, I’m already lukewarm on the content. I just got an antenna so I can watch some local things (news, sports, etc.) and I’m not sure I’ll bother with Netflix going forward. I see another cancellation looming in my future, and that’ll only come faster if they decide to increase the price yet again. Most of the time I already feel like I’d rather be reading a book than watching TV.

      You got an antenna? That’s practically $70/month you’re stealing from services like Google TV

      I just resubbed for Fall of the House of Usher. I’ll watch that and the new Adam Sandler, then will unsub again. I have no problem with paying for things that provide value, but its stupid to keep paying if I’m not going to use it

        Inside Job and One Piece are also gems, FWIW.

        I’ll subscribe to legally watch a show, but they don’t deserve more than a month per year from me…
