the rest is kinda so-so content or you can use the Plex channel (I think...spamlet!) to access content from your home network

- We use Crackle sometimes if we're bored. it's free but they have commercials. -- nm - spamlet Aug 3, 10:25
We are going to have an election within the family to pick a content provider between those three. -- nm - landbeck Aug 3, 10:20 10
- Amazon. I love Netflix but they're not adding new stuff as fast and Amazon gets you the Amazon Prime membership + the kindle lending library too -- nm - oblique Aug 3, 10:22 7
  - if I have the kindle app for ipad, can I have stuff from the kindle lending library? -- nm - wednesday jones Aug 3, 10:54 1
    - I think if you have a Kindle, check out the book on your Kindle, that you can read it on the iPad - oblique Aug 3, 10:59
  - My folks have kindles. Maybe they'd go in on it with us for the library. Hmm... -- nm - landbeck Aug 3, 10:25
  - Here's the thing: You should have Amazon Prime already. The only question is: Do you want to add Netflix or not? -- nm - Mop Aug 3, 10:24 3
    - I have both. This was primarily because Amazon did not have an iPad app - oblique Aug 3, 10:25 2
      - patryk and I are talking about splitting prime and netflix. we can just share a login. -- nm - wednesday jones Aug 3, 10:26
      - If Prime was on the Tivo (series 3), we might drop Netflix. But we're addicted to their Nick shows and Breaking Bad. -- nm - Mop Aug 3, 10:26
- Not Hulu Plus. You don't pay anyone for *almost* commercial free content. That should be a non-starter. -- nm - Mop Aug 3, 10:21 1
  - *tallies a "no" vote for Hulu+ in the "smart folks who don't live here" column* -- nm - landbeck Aug 3, 10:24
