A Cheaper Plan at Netflix Offers Films for Online Only

“Netflix said Monday that it was introducing a subscription plan for customers who want to watch movies only online, underscoring yet another step away from its roots in DVD rentals by mail.” …more

$7.99 is the same cost subscription plan as Hulu Plus is offering. But they increased the subscription plan fee for DVD and Blu-ray rental.
I don’t like the price increase but still worth it. And with a small hack I can get more blu-ray.
Now I can watch Netflix on my Tivo, PS3 and specially on iPhone.

Netflix subscription is a best deal

You may know already that Netflix has:

  • Over 100,000 DVD titles -New Releases, Classics, TV episodes and more on DVD
  • No Late Fees
  • Arrive movies in most places in one day
  • Over 17,000 streaming choices -Some new releases, lots of classics and TV episodes available to watch instantly

But that’s not all with Netflix $8.99 DVD (10.99 Blu-ray) plan,

  • you can get unlimited one DVD/Blu-ray at a time and stream over 17,000 choices on your PC, XBOX 360, Playstation 3(PS3),TiVo®, Roku and many Sony, LG, Samsung HDTV, Blu-ray player ,and home theater/receiver system.
  • Netflix has best predictions in recommending DVD/Blu-ray. Cheap rental $1 DVD rental can never come close to this.
  • Netflix hack: Since new release could take some time to arrive but if you want to get the movie on the release date (Tuesday) simply send the movie Friday afternoon or Saturday Morning and surely enough you will have movie on your hand on the release date. Remember if you send the movie Friday morning and Netflix receive movie on Saturday they may send out movie Saturday (they did it to me).
  • Netflix hack: I have $10.99 plan but for couple of bucks more I can get few more movies (in Blu-ray). E.g. I have billing date every 26th of month, I switched to 4 movies at plan today (22nd). Netflix charged me $1.75 (prorated) for this month and will send out the three additional movies tomorrow including Angels & Demons (New release) in Blu-ray. Once the movies are shipped I will revert to $8.99 plan and I get three additional movies in Blu-ray for just $1.75.

So if you think Redbox or Blockbuster $1 DVD rental can compete with Netflix then think again. I would rather cut one premium channel and subscribe Netflix.
So if you are current Netflix member enjoy above hacks like me but if you are not Netflix subscriber why not try free.

Best Dish Network Deal t with DuoDVRTM ViP 722K

link to vip722I wrote a blog couple of years ago about the Dish Network HD DVR Vip 722. Now Dish network lease DuoDVRTM ViP 722k, which is almost same as Vip 722. The only difference is you need to get optional Dual tuner OTA module for OTA programming, but then you can record up to 5 channels.
This is sill best free HD DVR available from Dish Network.
As always if you are a current Dish Network customer, call the customer service and ask for the upgrade. If they ask for the upgrade fee ask them to cancel service( only if you are out of contract), they will transfer you to cancellation/account retention department. Account retention department people have authority to do pretty much anything. Depends on your whining/bitching you may receive some additional free programming or credit also.

If you are a new customer;it’s better to switch to Dish Network. Dish Network has best deal in DVR and their plans are cheapest and have best International Prgramming. Cable also offer free DVR but it’s outdated. Tivo and Moxi are good but they are super expensive. You will receive:

  • FREE HD/DVR Upgrade
  • Plan starts from $19.99
  • FREE cinemax for a year with auto pay
  • Best International programming
  • FREE Standard Professional Installation
  • FREE Gift – $100 value
    MP3 player, plane ticket, and more

Remember even if you don’t have HDTV and have plan to buy HDTV in few months pick HD DVR, because if you don’t get HD DVR now and once you become the customer you will have to pay for the upgrade.

How BLOCKBUSTER lost me

A few months back, I wrote an article about how good is the Blockbuster Total AccessTM compare to Netflix. I enjoyed unlimited DVDs exchange at Blockbuster store and rented Wii games with a Free Game rental coupon a month. But Blockbuster couldn’t make the money with that plan and they increased the price of membership, so I moved on to Netflix.
What has changed now ?
Well it used to cost $17.99 for Blockbuster Total AccessTM with unlimited exchange and now the same plan cost $34.99. On top there is no free Game/Movie rental coupon.
Blockbuster still has a plan for $19.99 but you are limited to 5 movies exchange only.
What good is about Netflix then?
Well Netflix plan cost $16.99, though no store exchange as they don’t have one, but Netflix is very fast in shipment. I rarely received any new movies from Blockbuster online queue. Blockbuster shipment got much better but still slow compare to Netflix.
And greatest things about Netflix is I can watch movies online instantly. Though Netflix don’t have very big selection yet for online watching is fun. Also if you are like me who order foreign movies too, Netflix has the best library.

Cheaply and Wirelessly connect TiVo / Slingbox / Xbox 360 / PS3 (20 GB)

link to dealUpdate: for this article.
First of all, if you have a wireless setup in your home and have WEP security or have no security, please change it to WPA-PSK or best WPA2. There should be at least an option for the WPA-PSK if not WPA2 in your wireless router. The technical terms may look daunting but basically from the users perspective it’s just selecting setting WPA-PSK/WPA2 instead of WEP but behind the schene your wireless data is much secure. Also do change the default admin password of your router.
Now to wirelessly connect your TiVo/SlingBox/Xbox 360/PS3 (20GB) to Internet just buy a wireless bridge instead of buying individual adapter. Wireless brige has ethernet port/ports which you will use to connect you TiVo/SlingBox/Xbox 360/PS3 (20GB) and bridge itself will connect it to your wireless connection like wireless adapter. You know just to connect TiVo it will cost $37.41 using TiVo Wireless G USB Network Adapter for Series2 DVR (AG0100) or it will cost $88.99 to connect your Xbox 360 using Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter. The wireless bridge I am recommending is cheaper, better and would able to connect 1-4 devices using your ethernet connection. I use ZyXEL P-330W which can be used as a router/bridge and it supports WPA2, highest available security for wireless connection. You can connect upto 4 devices wirelessly with this device. Also you have to do the setup only once instead of buying multiple adapter and setting up each device. Setup is very simple and similar to standalone adapter setup. Now why I am recommending this device while you can buy other available wireless bridges like Linksys. Other bridges are expensive and even some require hacks and ZyXEL P-330W which I use already and is on sell. It’s selling for $12.99 or $2.99 if you use Google Checkout as a new customer. In fact it’s way cheaper than I paid for the device originally.
Don’t misled by it’s title, you can use ZyXEL P-33 as a router or a bridge.

If you don’t have wireless setup in your home or your router doesn’t support WPA-PSK/WPA2 security buy two of these. One use as a router and connect it to your DSL/Cable Modem, and other one use as a wireless bridge and hook up you TiVo/SlingBox/Xbox 360/PS3 (20GB) etc.

Online DVD Rentals Comparison (BLOCKBUSTER vs Netflix.com vs Inteliflix.com)

**Update From Intellliflix(02/28/2007):
“Intelliflix eliminated the game offering for new customers in June of 2007. Due to the continually changing market for games and game consoles, we made this decision in order to focus our resources on providing the highest quality movie rental experience for our customers. Intelliflix customers that had a Premium membership prior to this change will be grandfathered in, and thus still be allowed to rent games as part of their plan.”

All Online DVD rentals Blockbuster.COM Total Access™, Netflix.com and Intelliflix.com

  • offer online DVD Rentals, up to 3 at a time.
  • offer free shipping – Both ways
  • have no Late Fees – Keep DVDs as long as you want
  • offers plans start at $4.99 (Intelliflix starts at $5.99)

Blockbuster offers free in store exchange. Also Blockbuster offers one free game/movie rental coupon per month.

Blockbuster Total Access™ is the best deal if you like going to the Blockbuster store and would like a free game rental per month. I am current subscriber of Blockbuster Total Access™. My online queue is filled with relatively old movies or old movies which are usually in stock and so it get shipped faster. Blockbuster got better in shipping, I usually get movie next day. I always rent new movies at store in free exchange offer so I don’t have to wait for new movies. I keep the game for a month a pay $1.25 restocking fee as there is no late fee. Blockbuster is not suitable for you if you are not near to Blockbuster store and want new movie faster from the online queue.

Netflix.com offers largest collections of DVDs. Netflix has also very good collection of foreign movies. Netflix also allows you to watch movies online. Currently Netflix has around 1000 movies collection online. Netflix shipping is fastest so far among all DVDs rental companies.

Netflix is the best option if you don’t like going to store. Also Netflix is good if you like to watch movie online.

Intelliflix differentiate from Blockbuster and Netflix by renting Mature movies and Games. Intelliflix is also cheapest among all online DVD rentals companies.

Intelliflix is the best option if you don’t care for fast delivery and like to rent Mature movies and Games. Also again this is the cheapest. Currently Intelliflix is offering $10 off.
