I remember when netflix aloud up to 5 people playing netflix at a time. Now you gotta pay for all that. Netflix has really made me mad over the last couple months.

Netflix has really made me mad over the last couple months.[/QUOTE] at least 2 people can watch at the same time for me? 5 is just excessive, Netflix already get screwed over for licensing the last thing they need is the TV executives bitching about 5 people being able to use the same subscription

I know a lot of people where abusing it and allowing friends to use their account with there xbox/bluray player and stuff. Not really surprised they cracked down on it.
As cable prices go up, and the quality of TV steadily going down, Netflix and Hulu are just going to get bigger, with people returning their cable boxes. (Me included, took mine back a few months ago. No regrets and nearly $100 extra a month in my pocket) That's the reason for the price hikes, and now it's the reason they're fighting to limit traffic behind more paywalls, and charging Netflix because the ISP's customers are using their internet that they already pay for to use Netflix. Which is absurd when you think about it. Imagine everyone's electric company requiring companies like Samsung, Apple, MrCoffee to pay them money because their appliances are using the electricity they supply, even though the power bill is being paid for already
