Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Well, they do say this:
In determining priority for shipping and inventory allocation, we give priority to those members who receive the fewest DVDs through our service. As a result, those subscribers who receive the most movies may experience next-day shipping and receive movies lower in their queue more often than our other subscribers.
in their terms of service. Still, even when I was plugging through three or four a week, my turnaround time was three business days -- it was rare they didn't send me a receipt e-mail within 24 hours of me putting the disc in the mail.
what plan are you on, ita?
Netflix held 2 movies from me last month for 4-5 days.
Five at a time now, but I have been up to eight and down to three at various points.
I sort of wish they would take into account that from October - April, i probably got 30 movies total!
Perhaps, after moving, I'll up to the 8, though...
yeah, Beau was watching close to 3-5 movies a week on the 4 at a time plan. You see why we got throttled.
We are now on the 5 at a time plan and Beau is getting pissed that he can only see 2 movies a week (I am seeing 2 movies a week too).
Sophia,
FYI...I actually cancelled Netflix last year for 3-4 months because I was busy moving. So usually around the time the Fall season starts, I cancel Netflix for a little while.
Sounds like Toast Titanium 6 will do what you want it to do and perhaps give you a bit better feedback about it than iDVD.
Thanks! I'll give that a try tonight.
Hmm. Don't know about those -- I'll check. Or, if you want, you can give *me* the files, and I can burn the DVDs.
I may take you up on that if Plans A and B don't pan out this evening. (Plan B is hooking the laptop to the DVR and copying that way.)
Though I am hoping Plan A works because I'd really like to be able to burn usable DVDs myself with my laptop.
There are rumors of a leaked Tiger OSX for Intel version on torrent sites, but There are also a number of people crying "bs!"
Not really up for the effort.
We definitely get the Netflix slowdown. They always report them back the day after we drop them in the mail, but a lot of times recently, they get one back Monday, and our next movie is "Shipping Tuesday" or even Wednesday.
