Netflix

[cellio]

For my birthday I received a gift subscription to Netflix (I'd been considering it but never did anything about it on my own). This is excellent. I've populated my queue with enough stuff to get rolling, but I figure suggestions are always good. Here is your invitation to evangelize DVDs you think I'd like.

Recent TV I've enjoyed has included Merlin, Pushing Daisies, and Journeyman (last year, short-lived). I enjoyed West Wing, the first three seasons of LOST (more now on the way), Firefly, and the first season of Heroes. I'm a big B5 fan and have seen all the modern Star Treks. I don't get out to movies very often; the profiling there is likely to be unsurprising. If you're reading this, you probably have some other clues about me. I can of course pour all that data into automated suggestion generators; I'm providing it here for a bit of context in case it matters.

Anyway, fire away. :-) (A hint about why you think I'd like something would be much appreciated.)

I'm getting my TV over the air: antenna to DTV box to (splitter to) TiVo and VCR. That last is just legacy; since neither the TiVo nor the VCR can speak any channel other than 3 (with that being a dynamic setting at the DTV box), I could either remove the VCR or put it downstream of the TiVo (one of their recommended configurations). I still have some stuff only on tape, so I'm inclined to keep it wired in.

But anyway... this means I don't have that many choices of channels -- a dozen or so. Another reason that TiVo service would be of questionable value. The Roku is looking quite attractive, at the small cost of having to wade into the wiring once again. (I don't really have thing where I want them, but it works and I was getting tired...)

Good to know about Amazon. (They just sent me a coupon good for a couple TV downloads, which I haven't done anything with because I don't have a suitable device.)
