I realize posting this probably puts me in the old curmudgeon category, but I'm new to the streaming thing and am a bit overwhelmed by the choices.
We have a panasonic so-called "smart" TV, which takes an ethernet plug and sets up internet access, and has a bunch of app-type things. It includes a button for Netflix, amazon prime instant (or something like that) Hulu, Vudu, and CinemaNow.
It has seemed surprisingly difficult for me to find out what each service offers in what they have available now, how much they charge and what's included in the various charge levels. I'm guessing that it's me, not them, since apparently the entire rest of humanity streams their movies already.
So - we tend to be episodic viewers, mostly movies but the occasional documentary (stuff like The Roosevelts or the series on the National parks). Rarely do we have any interest in past episodes of tv series.
Could folks weigh in on what services they have, which they like, which they don't, and why? I'd be appreciative - otherwise I'm just gonna go back to Redbox. Nearest is only 10 min drive in town.
Thanks -
Ken
