Netflix or Amazon Prime?

Recently I just got a free month of Amazon Prime. You get to stream movies from Amazon with a Prime account. $79.00 a year. I went through the movies that you can stream through Amazon and I have to say that their selection is a little better than Netflix.

How about movie quality?

I like how netflix has transformed itself over the years. Its very easy to find what you're looking for now, compared to a few years ago. How does amazon compare in this regard?

I have a newer TV with internet apps and "amazon on demand" is one of the apps I've never used. I wonder if an update would bring me to what you're talking about. I may check it out, but I already have netflix on 360, Wii and PS3 and on my TV. I can watch in almost any room in the house. I definitely won't be paying for 2 streaming services, but if its good enough and can be integrated, I may switch.

The quality on my computer has been good. But my wife and I are looking at ways to reduce the cable bill. So maybe having Netflix and Amazon Prime could be a good option.

Can you stream prime on something other than your computer? Until then, I'm sticking to Netflix.

I think you can stream it on a Roku box or any other type of streaming boxes. But my problem is I have an Xbox and a Wii and they don't have that type of streaming yet. But maybe they will down the line.

Also germaine to this discussion is the cost of the possible bandwidth usage, especially if you're looking to lower costs. AT&T DSL is set to institute monthly bandwidth caps in May, where you pay a fee based on GB overages.

Damn I'd be switching.

I have Road Runner. No bandwidth caps with them.

Mostly. I've been throttled a few times though. Had a buddy that did too. Mainly if you upload a ton they get kinda pissed.

How can you tell if you're being throttled? I don't upload too much stuff. But when I do I just assume that the upload speeds are what they are.

    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly. 
    • Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
