It will send you the multi-set stuff in order but one at a time. So if you have a six dvd set and can have 8 dvds out - you can get all six at once. But if you have 8 dvds out and return two and there is a six dvd set in the next six spots, it will send the next two.
Umm, you have to put the multi-set disks in your queue as a multi-disk set. (Which, when I signed up for netflix you couldn't do,but is very possible now.)
Also on Netflix they will only send a movie after they have received one so (for instance) if you are on the three disc plan and you have three discs at home you really need to send one back by wednesday to be sure you'll get the next one by Saturday. (says the girl who often runs out of stuff to watch on weekends)
The other thing you can do is set up different users on one account and you'll have separate queues. But you have to divide up your number of dvds allowed out between the two users.
For example, I have all movies and documentaries on one user name and all tv and anime on another, I get 4 movies out at a time and each gets 2 dvds out at a time. That way it's pretty evenly divided and I always get 2 tv dvds and 2 movies out at once.
The other thing is Netflix has Watch it Now, which only works on PCs using XP and IE 6 or higher. But you can watch as many hours as you fee is. So if you pay $14.99/mth you can watch 15 hours on Watch it Now. There's not a huge selection of current movies but there's lots of British tv shows (lots of Doctor Who) and older movies, things like that.
It is gorgeous in the Bay Area. About 71 in SF with lots of sunshine and a breeze.
high 90s in this part of the bay area. I know this because it is 84 in the house. The nice thing is I know it will be much cooler tonight. and I'm sitting in front of the tv and my computer with a fan blowing on me and I have a cool beverage. And I feel better than I have all week.
When I am useing netflix - I alternate movie/tv/movie to make sure that if what I am looking isn't in - they don't send me a disk before I need it. but it sounds like I might not need to do that...
just saw a commercial for Diet Coke Plus - diet Coke plus vitamins and minerals
Huh?
Thanks Andi. No word yet. I hate the waiting part of the process.
It is one hundred seventeen F. here right now. I think that requires a different F than the one in Farhenheit, actually.
And our local weatherman has, like, a heat fetish...the hotter it gets the more up he gets.
I hate that guy, right now.
