Hi Stillhope:
Where we are we don't get TV cable and the trees are too tall for a sat dish so we live without TV. Give me trees over TV any day!! Sooo we use Netflix and yes it's great. You can select your movies in an on-line website and they arrive by mail. There are no late fees. When you finish a movie you just send it back in the prepaid supplied envelope. They have some 80,000 titles to choose from. We like stuff that isn't that common and they seem to have a great selection which has kept us steadily entertained for the past 3+ years. There are different plans available. Our plan allows us to have 5 DVDs out at a time as well as instant watch movies over the Internet. Our plan is $31.19/month. There are cheaper plans as well.
Blockbuster has similar programs with one advantage. Besides DVDs by mail and movies on-line you can also pick up and return DVDs to any of their retail locations. So if you commute to Hilo regularly you can return DVDs there and avoid the time it takes to mail them.
Take care,
Andrew
