Netflix vs Blockbuster vs Premium movie channels

OK so we unsubscribed from Netflix at the end of our free month and found their instant watch really lacking considering their new doubled charges. We were about to start a Blockbuster free trial at a new lower rate to steal disgruntled Netflix customers but decided to go with HBO and Cinemax for 3 months free with FIOS. DH is trying to do a Game of Thrones marathon and then will be doing True Blood's current season. I'll be doing those series plus Hung's second season at a slower pace as well as a few movies that happen to be on my rental queues. Our puters can also access all older seasons of all of the series which weren't available during previous subscriptions.

Still may start a free Blockbuster trial before 9/15 to see some other movies not on these premium channels. Oh and if you text redbox to 727272, they are supposed to send a code for a free rental on the first Monday of every month!

I cancelled our AC reservations this week to avoid the crowds and the noise from the air shows but have plenty of tv to watch in spite of *So You Think You Can Dance* ending and Big Brother becoming way too annoying with their returning veterans.
